Beachfront Pro-Am - Final Round

Update 24

Hole 18

Art Mullen (-6) – sinks the clutch birdie putt to get to (-7)
Saku Koekela (-6) – up and down to save par on the final hole

Mullen finishes 1 under and the tournament at -7. Koekela was also 1 under on the day and he finishes at -6 overall

Hole 17

Jesse Porter (-7) - solid par
Harold Finch (-8) – birdie putt doesn’t hold the line - another run at the lead comes up empty

Hole 16

Archie Goodwin (-8) – didn’t play enough break for the tough pin placement and the birdie putt rolls by the hole – settle for par. That one hurt as Goodwin is running out of chances.
Joe Smith (-9) – solid par

Beachfront Pro-Am - Final Round

Update 24

Hole 18

Jesse Porter (-7) - solid par
Harold Finch (-8) – in the trees off the tee – tries to scramble but is unable to get out of trouble on the first try – double bogey…(-6)

Porter is 1 over for the round and he finishes in a big tie at -7. Finch's terrible last hole takes him from 1 under to 1 over for the round and he'll finish -6.

Hole 17

Archie Goodwin (-8) – solid par
Joe Smith (-9) – birdie putt is pulled slightly and player settles for par

Beachfront Pro-Am - Final Round

Update 25

Hole 18

Goodwin has honors so he steps up and rips a drive right down the middle.

Smith steps up and he blocks his drive well right into the trees...

Smith's ball is in jail and he attempts a low hook to get the ball out and he clips a tree in the process, the ball is knocked straight down in the thick rough. He hasn't lost his turn yet and his third shot fails to reach the green and worse it's in deep grass on a severe downhill/sidehill lie

Goodwin knocks his second shot to the center of the green and he has a 22 foot putt for birdie.

Smith's 4th shot can't get enough spin on it and it trickles to the back edge of the green. The aggressive putt from the fringe for bogey is too firm and rolls 4 feet past. Smith make the come-backer but he's straddled with a double bogey finish...

Goodwin lines up his putt. If he makes he wins, if he misses we will have a playoff between Goodwin and Babson...

Archie confidently strokes his putt and it goes dead in the heart for a birdie and the WIN!!!

Goodwin finishes the round 1 under and the tournament -9. Smith who led the whole round and has to deal with that heartbreaking finish ends up in the 6 way tie for 3rd at 7 under par.

Arizona Open - Course Overview

1. Par 4 : 468 Yards - Normal
The first hole requires a nice mix of skill and intangibles…The hole straight and uphill, with a huge bunker which can come into play if players try to get too greedy off the tee. The green is elevated with runoffs on the right which can stress a players short game, and the huge bunkers left and long that will require high sand skill to save par. On this hole players need the skills to hit the shots but also the confidence in what you are doing and the focus to pull it off is important.

2. Par 4 : 412 Yards – Hard
Getting birdie here puts a player ahead of the game, in fact this hole is more about avoiding dropping a shot. The short par 4 has a tight fairway and a small green surrounded by bunkers. Get overly aggressive and you could find yourself in a dense grouping of trees. Miss the green and your sand play better be up to snuff.

3. Par 3 : 199 Yard – Normal
This green is huge and multi-tiered. Being on the green here isn’t enough to insure par, you need to be on the right level of the green. The tee shot is extremely important if you want to walk away with a birdie.

4. Par 5 : 540 Yards – Easy
This hole provides players with numerous options on how to attack. Players can reach it in two, but a big and very deep bunker that takes up about 2/3rds of the front of the green can cause problems for players that come up short. But with so many options smart decisions and well executed shots are all that is needed.

5. Par 4 : 488 Yards – Hard
This hole is difficult to birdie, but a long straight drive or an extremely well executed long iron approach can get it done. But be careful a drive in the rough can quickly force a player to scramble to save par.

6. Par 5: 555 Yards – Normal
This sharp dogleg hole is very difficult to reach it two because there is no good angle of attack, which makes this an interesting hole. In net effect this is a par 5 but birdies typically come down to the putter. The severe undulating green make it difficult to sink medium length putts – much less long ones.

7. Par 3: 150 Yards – Normal
Small green with deep and thick grass bunkers that can create some awkward lies if the green is missed. This hole requires precision with the short iron approach to allow the player a chance to run a putt at the hole for birdie.

8. Par 4 : 440 Yards – Hard
A long drive can put you in a position to birdie this hole, but miss the fairway and a bogey quickly comes into play. The green here slopes front to back so approach shots must be hit with a lot of spin to hold the green and shots from the rough will almost all run to the back edge if not over the green and into the thick grass bunker behind.

9. Par 4 : 466 Yards – Normal
This picturesque hole shows the elevated green framed by trees to the left and surrounded by tiers of bunkers and run off areas. To avoid bogey players need to hit the green with the approach. If the ball is on the green in regulation players will have a shot at birdie because the green is pretty easy to putt. However, if you miss the green the short game will have to scramble to save par.

10. Par 4 : 478 Yards – Hard
Extremely uphill hole that can take the juice out of a players legs if they aren’t careful. Players choosing to be aggressive here need to make sure they are straight off the tee or they could regret that decision. Mounds along both sides of the fairway ensure a bad lie if the fairway is missed

11. Par 5 : 539 Yards – Easy
The longest hitters can clear two big bunkers on either side of the fairway which makes this hole much shorter. Most players will be forced to lay up short of the bunkers which eliminates any shot at reaching the green in two.

12. Par 3 : 209 Yards – Easy
An isolated green with very little around it allow players to attack the pin. This creates its own type of pressure and players tend to feel that walking off with par is similar to walking away with bogey on other holes. The biggest obstacles here tend to be a loss of focus or trying to do too much rather than taking the consistent approach and swing.

13. Par 5 : 569 Yards – Normal
The sharp dog leg right requires a well struck drive to get to the corner or the player will face a difficult second shot round trees to a small landing area. If the corner is reached off the tee the player will have several options on how to proceed and birdie is a definite possibility.

14. Par 4 : 416 Yards – Normal
Typically there are two schools of thought about this short par 4 over water. Aggressively attack the hole and try to take advantage of the short yardage and get birdie or play conservatively and avoid dropping a stroke. The difference in approach is due to the very small landing area off the tee. A long drive does leave a player with basically a wedge in, but a missed fairway and wedge or not the ball likely won’t hold the approach shot.

15. Par 3: 181 Yards – Normal
This green is the first one where water will really come into play. The water runs all along the front and left of the green…when the pin placement is front players will have to be careful to carry the ball far enough that shots don’t spin back into the water.

16. Par 4 : 482 Yards – Normal
A long par 4 with a very oddly shaped green that can cause problems for players. The green is almost triangular in shape and when the pin is back at the tip of the triangle birdie opportunities typically disappear, and trying to birdie will more often than not lead to bogey. When the pin isn’t back, this hole can and often is birdied.

17. Par 4 : 449 Yards – Normal
Pretty straight forward hole. Long drives set up easier approach shots, but consistent play is important to convert the birdies. The only real trouble here is a few small clusters of trees on either side of the fairway.

18. Par 4 : 474 Yards – Normal
Fitness can be a problem by the time players get to 18…the long walk and heat can really take its toll. So much so players will have to work hard mentally to repeat their swing consistently and execute their shots. Sand and Grass bunkers await players that aren’t crisp with their approach shots and a severely sloping green can make it difficult to chip it close to the pin.

(Fujita) I like my play so far. Keep it the same.

General Update

If I don't have SOP by tomorrow morning I will run the round with what is currently in place.

Frank Justyce will stay the same.

Press Release

The FOFC Tour is proud to announce the inaugural U.S. Open Championship will be held at Aaron Mount Country Club in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The course will play approximately 7800 yards and will be par 72. This beautiful course will be a challenge due to the wide ranging elevation changes, deep bunkers and typically windy conditions.

Made the cut!

Same instructions for round 3 as round 2.

I believe at this point we are just waiting on Babson and Schaplowsky...
