well first round on Jeju Island some cold and some wind BUT nothing like Scotland or Surry, England the last two weeks of the Euro Tour. still it produced relatively high scores

first round leader Chez Reavie with [-4] followed by Si Woo Kim and Danny Willett tied 2nd [-3] then seven more tied 4th [-2] and another eight at [-1] including 2nd favorite this week Brook Koepka and #4 favorite Hideki Matsuyama. other favorites kind of sucked with Justin Thomas [+1], Jason Day [+1] and last weeks winner Marc Leishman [+3] so kind of "who let the dogs out?" so far but a LONG way to go

my tourney match plays a "mixed bag" so far with
Emiliano Grillo -110 [+1] over Byeong-Hun An [-2] 3 down
Si Woo Kim even [-3] over Sungjae Im [+1] 4 up
Brandt Snedeker even [even] over Ryan Moore [even] tied

 

[LeRinkRat]

well the weather warmed up and the wind died down Friday so the scores more like a normal PGA tourney. [-7] rounds Friday from Scott Piercy the leader @ [-9], Brooks Koepka solo 2nd @ [-8] and Alex Noren tied 4th with the Ian Poulter @ [-5] first round leader Chez Reavie with a [-2] for tourney [-6] solo 3rd. Brian Harman low round of the day [-8] to get to tourney [-4] tied 6th with five others

my tourney match plays all "wicked close". can NOT understand HOW some players like Grillo and An could "blow up" in better weather conditions the 2nd round
Emiliano Grillo -110 [+3] for [+4] over Byeong-Hun An [+5] for [+3] 1 down
Si Woo Kim even [+1] for [-2] over Sungjae Im [-1] for [even] 2 up
Brandt Snedeker even [even] for [even] over Ryan Moore [+1] for [+1] 1 up

 

[LeRinkRat]

well Brooks Koepka running off with the tourney [-5] for [-13]. Ian Poulter [-4] and Scott Piercy [even] tied for 2nd [-9] and six more tied 4th at [-8]. low rounds of the day [-7] for Rafael Cabrera-Bello for tourney [-8], Jason Day and Ted Potter, Jr both for [-7]

my tourney match plays looking better going into Sunday. just need then to "maintain"
Emiliano Grillo -110 [-6] for [-2] over Byeong-Hun An [-2] for [+1] 3 up
Si Woo Kim even [-4] for [-6] over Sungjae Im [-1] for [-1] 5 up
Brandt Snedeker even [even] for [even] over Ryan Moore [even] for [+1] 1 up

 

[B.A.R.]

Brooks, eh? No shit.

 

[LeRinkRat]

Brooks, eh? No shit.

Ya it's the SHITS. Brooks Koepka was +135 pre-tourney over Justin Thomas who is tied 43rd at [-1]

 

[LeRinkRat]

well Books Koepka actually tried to give it away. was only [-1] on the front side to let Gary Woodland get within one shot BUT then shot [-7] on the back including an eagle on #18 to finish [-8] for tourney [-21] and a four shot win over Woodland [-9] for [-17]. Brooks now takes over #1 OWGR. Rafael Cabrera-Bello [-7] and Ryan Palmer [-10] tied 3rd at [-15]

I can NOT understand HOW Emiliano Grillo can shoot [-21] to tie for 2nd last week at the CIMB and THEN completely BLOW UP in this tourney. I end up 2-1 on the week
Emiliano Grillo -110 [+1] for [-1] over Byeong-Hun An [-5] for [-4] 3 down
Si Woo Kim even [-1] for [-7] over Sungjae Im [-3] for [-4] 3 up
Brandt Snedeker even [-5] for [-5] over Ryan Moore [-1] for [even] 5 up
