Tough chase after Harpo put in 4 very consistent rounds and happy to get to a tie in the end. Fun along the way after a weak first round I got lucky in the 2nd round to get in contention. Solid 3rd to stay just one behind and then onto the 4th. Does anyone else have a 4 iron in their bag?
Good start on the first 2 holes but then my 4 iron let me down on the par 3. Miss snap , difficult putt not good enough so a par meaning perfection from now on and even then a long par 5 into wind needed to be eagled. Got to the next par 5 into win and the pin tucked near the front but with water very close. I had 284 to the pin. Go for it or not. 3w offnsap or big overswing on a 2w?
I tried the offsnap in the previous round and bottled it way left and was lucky to get birdie from nearly 50 yards! So i decided to try the 2w. Adjusted the stance to as far back foot as possible and needed minumum wind with a touch of right to left. Also knew if I did miss snap it had to be early not late. Overswung and nailed it to 14 feet. Not too easy a putt but should be holed so I chose that time to under hit the putt and finish an inch short. [censored]!!
Same sort of thing on the par 5 17th. Again nailed the 2W, back in the stance, into a little breeze, and got another 14 footer but thankfully less break and managed that one for the tie
