FOFC Golf Tour - Bay Hill Invitational

[Breeze]

Group 1 - Holes 16 - 18

Shane Kormelink - (-5);
After failing to reach the par 5 - 16th in two it appeared Kormelink had left himself a difficult chip and would be lucky to make par. However a great putt from 24 feet dropped and Kormelink drops another stroke. A par at 17 is followed by another great drive at 18, a nice approache and a putt later and Shane closed the 3rd round with a backside score of 33 and an impressive total round score of 67. (-7)

Kyle Smith - (-3)
Smith, who had managed just one birdie on the day at number 6, gets another birdie at 16, then hits a nice iron to about 15 feet on 17 and makes the putt for a second bird on the back. Smith shoots 34 on the back nine and 69 for the round. (-5)



Group 2 - Holes 13 - 15

Kevin Wayne - (-4);
The good ball striking for Wayne again fails to pay off on 13 as a par is recorded. However. finally the approch shots give Wayne a chance to make a run at birdie on 14 and 15 and he converts both. (-6)

Michael Weideman - (-5)
Matches Wayne by getting 2 birds on the 3 holes. Michael's birds come at 13 and 15. (-7)



Group3 - Holes 10 - 12

AJ Tucker - (-2);
Par Par .On 12 - the 3rd shot iron from the fairway drops down the chute and hits only inches from the pin. By the time the ball stops it's 7 feet. The putt is made and tucker has a birdie.. (-3)

Mike Tokunaga - (-8)
A blemish appears on Tokunaga's scorecard. Bogey at 10 is followed by 2 pars. (-7)

Rolin Bywater - (-2)
Bywater begins to heat up on the back - angry after dropping the stroke at 9, he birdies 10 and 12 to get underpar for the round. (-4)


Group 4 - Holes 7 - 9

Brian Babson- (-5);
Babson begins to show his inconsistent nature and the slip in the 3rd round at Pebble begins to look like it might repeat itself. At 7 the tee ball finds the right side trap - bogey. At 8 Babson again finds a greenside bunker and his 6 foot bogey putt lips the cup before dropping or a double would have been scored. A par at 9 and Babson's hopes to challenge Mayes appear gone. A frontside score of 39.(-3)

TE Almighty - (-11)
Pars out on the front and records a 32. (-11)

Kyle Kappe III - (-8)
Pars 7 and 8. 3 putts on 9 from 33 feet leaves Kappe with a bogey and a frontside score of 36.(-7)



Group 5 - Holes 4 - 6

Jimmy Fuijita- (-5);
Smartly played birdie at number 4 is followed by 2 pars. (-6)

Duncan Baxter - (-9)
Baxter, who doesn't have the length to reach many par 5s in two, does a great job of possitioning himself to make a run with the putter. Again on 4...the 3rd shot to the green is around a dozen feet and the putt dropped. At 6, again a par 5 played to the green in regulation and the putt is made.(-11)

Colton Mayes - (-14)
Mayes follows Baxter around on both par 5s, and his results are identical. He also manages to get up and down from a trap on 5 to save par. (-16)

[Blade]

I need to avoid those bogeys if I want to catch Mayes!

[pskov]

Smoothly does it, very nicley positioned indeed.

[MrBug708]

Darn Darn...come on Third!

[Breeze]

Group 2 - Holes 16 - 18

Kevin Wayne - (-6);
Wayne gets his 3rd straight birdie on number 16 then pars out to shoot a 32 on the back and a 68 for the round (-7)

Michael Weideman - (-7)
Weideman has chances at birdie on 16, but he fails to convert the 14 foot putt. A poor putt again at 17 force him to accept another par and a bad drive on 18 keeps him from being aggressive. It appears that fatigue really grabbed Michael, and on this extremely long course it isn't surprising. Weideman does however post a 34 on the back 9 and a 68 for the day. (-7)



Group3 - Holes 13 - 15

AJ Tucker - (-3);
Par 3 putt bogey and par.(-2)

Mike Tokunaga - (-7)
Birdies number 13 with a 18 foot putt for birdie. then a bogey at 15 drops him back to 7 under. (-7)

Rolin Bywater - (-4)
Once again Bywater can't build on his good play. Pars at 13 and 14 are followed by a bogey at 15. (-3)



Group 4 - Holes 10 - 12

Brian Babson- (-3);
Starts off the back with a par at 10, but then a nicely struck drive and approach iron appears to wake up the former boxer, as the 8 foot putt for birdie is made. The first par 5 on the back - a 580 yard hole is amazingly reached in two. A 330+ yard drive is followed by a 250 yard 1 iron. 2 putts from 30 feet gives Babson consecutive birds..(-5)

TE Almighty - (-11)
3 pars, only shot at birdie was on 12, but the double breaking 18 footer slid by the hole. (-11)

Kyle Kappe III - (-7)
A super 14 foot putt is made on 10 for birdie and a 3rd shot iron at 12 is cozeyed but only 5 feet from the hole leading to another birdie.(-9)



Group 5 - Holes 7 - 9

Jimmy Fuijita- (-6);
Pars 7 but poor drives at 8 and 9 both eventually lead to bogeys. Jimmy's front 9 is a 39.(-4)

Duncan Baxter - (-11)
Baxter hits the ball in the bunker at 8, but this time he can't make the sand save and he take a bogey. The front 9 is a 34.(-10)

Colton Mayes - (-16)
Pars out the front 9 and shoots a 34. (-16)

[AnalBumCover]

Oh no! Fujita's back to his Saturday collapse!

[Breeze]

Group3 - Holes 16 - 18

AJ Tucker - (-2);
A really short drive on 16 prevents Tucker from going for the green in two. Then the layup is left a little far back and Tucker has to settle for par. The last 2 holes are parred out and he shoots par on the back. Finishing with a 1 over 73. (-2)

Mike Tokunaga - (-7)
Tokunaga's hot play on the front has been followed by inconsistent play on the back. Number 16, an easy par 5 is bogeyed when the 3 shot iron is hit well long and Mike doesn't get up and down. Number 17 id double bogeyed because the iron off the tee found the bunker and he didn't execute well out of it, and 18 is birdied thanks to solid play on all 3 shots.Tokunaga finishes with a disappointing 39 on the back and a 1 over 73 for the round. (-5)

Rolin Bywater - (-3)
Pars 16 then a poor iron off the tee at 17 leads to bogey. Par at 18 closes the back 9 at even par. Round 3 is a 73..(-2)



Group 4 - Holes 13 - 15

Brian Babson- (-5);
Scores his 3rd straight birdie at 13 then pars the next 2.(-6)

TE Almighty - (-11)
Birdies 14 with a great 22 foot putt, but gives the stroke back on 15 when he can't get up and down from the shortside rough. (-11)

Kyle Kappe III - (-9)
Another great iron at 13 stops only 7 feet from the pin and Kappe gets another birdie. 3 putts on number 15 gives the stroke back..(-9)



Group 5 - Holes 10 - 12

Jimmy Fuijita- (-4);
Par, Par, and an excellent 3rd shot wedge to about 6 feet for birdie..(-5)

Duncan Baxter - (-10)
Par, Par, and again the conservative play and good putting on the par 5s pay off at 12.(-11)

Colton Mayes - (-16)
Par at 10, is followed by a birdie at 11 and another at 12 - watch out Mayes is threatening to turn this into a whitewash. (-18)

[Breeze]

Group 4 - Holes 16 - 18

Brian Babson- (-6);
3 putts from 18 feet force Babson to settle for a par on the par 5 - 16th Then 3 more putts from about the same distance give Babson a bogey at the 17th. He manages to par 18 and finishes the back 9 with a 34 and the round with a 73.(-5)

TE Almighty - (-11)
Follows the bogey at 15 up with a birdie on 16. The last 2 holes are played to par and the back 9 is recorded as a 35 and the round was a 67 (-12)

Kyle Kappe III - (-9)
Birdies 16 by playing smart, laying up and then hitting a nice 3rd shot to within charging range. The putt drops and Kappe get to double figures under par. On 18 Kappe's drive is right and in the rough. In addition, his approach to the green is slightly blocked by a tree limb. Kappe decided to slice the ball around the tree and onto the green, The ball is well struck, but it caught a flyer and was hot heading into the green. The ball hit...took a big bounce and ran into the water. Kappe settles for a double on the last hole and a 35 on the back. 3rd round is score to a 71.(-8)




Group 5 - Holes 13 - 15

Jimmy Fuijita- (-5);
Par, Par and a 14 foot putt made at 15 for par. (-5)

Duncan Baxter - (-11)
3 pars..(-11)

Colton Mayes - (-18)
Mayes hits a great drive on 13, then the approach is less than stellar. The ball settles 24 feet from the pin, but with a big lead Mayes decided to go for it - and he makes it for his 3 bird in a row. The next 2 holes are pars. (-19)

[Breeze]

Group 5 - Holes 16 - 18

Jimmy Fuijita- (-5);
Bird at 16 after sinking a 20 foot putt, but 18 the putter lets Jimmy down. He gets overly aggressive with a 28 foot and the ball rolls 8 feet by, then he misses the comebacker. Back 9 - 35, round - 74. (-5)

Duncan Baxter - (-11)
3 pars. Back 9 - 35, round score of 69.(-11)

Colton Mayes - (-19)
Coming into the last 3 holes, Mayes has 3 birdies in 6 holes on the back. On 16, Since he has such a large lead, he elected to go for the green in two. He didn't make it, but he did set himself up for an easy chip up and 1 putt birdie. Mayes finds the sand off the tee at 17 and he can't escape with a par, but he rebounds on 18 by making an 18 footer for birdie. Mayes birdies 5 of 9 holes on the back 9 shooting a 32. The 66 for the round was the best of the day, and unless he completely melts down on Sunday this is now an also ran tourney. (-20)

So much for Babson trying to catch up to Mayes. Maybe he should try corrective lenses so that he can line up his putts better.

[Breeze]

Group 1 - Holes4 - 6

Rolin Bywater - (-2)
Bywater fires at the pin with the second shot on number 5. The ball finds the trap on the front right, leaving him only 8 feet between the edge of the green and the hole, with the green running away from him. An impossible chip to get close for a good bunker player - and Bywater is horrible out of the sand. To be honest he was lucky to only make bogey. (-1)

AJ Tucker - (-2)
Tuckers 2nd shot ended up only 3 feet left of Bywaters. Tucker, who is one of the better bunker players on tour (but still isn't particularly good), managed to get out better than Bywater, but he couldn't make the 23 foot putt for par. (-1)



Group 2 - Holes 1 - 3

Mike Tokunaga -(-5)
Par, Par, Hooked drive off of the tee at 3 ends up in the water and a double bogey results.(-3)

Brian "Putting Butcher" Babson - (-5)
Maybe there is some truth to the nerve damage rumors referred to in the FOFC Boxing Gym press conference held earlier this morning. Babson badly miss reads a putt on 1, which leads to bogey. Another putt is missed on 2 for bogey, and on 3 - 3 more putts are hit for a 3rd straight bogey. (-2)

[JAG]

Putting Butcher: "Hey Mayes, let me be the first to congratulate you on winning the...what is this, the Johnny Ass tournament? I save myself for the ones that count. Let's see if you can cut it at the Masters or whatever the next big tournament is."

[JAG]

LOL, tha'ts what I'm talking about. Definitely gotta work on the putting this offseason.

[Travis]

Hey Breeze, is there any way to improve your skills as the year progresses?

[Breeze]

Group 1 - Holes7 -9

Rolin Bywater - (-1)
Rolin hits a good 5 iron off the tee on the 7th hole, but he missed the 11 foot birdie putt. He also hits his drive on 9 on the hozzle and the ball goes no where. The short drive sets him up for a bogey. The frontside is played to 2 over 38.(EVEN)

AJ Tucker - (-1)
Tucker's iron shot on 7 is also very good, but like his playing partner he can't convert the putt. He does make a tough 19 footer on 9 to save par. Front 9 score: 37.(-1)




Group 2 - Holes 4 - 6

Mike Tokunaga -(-3)
Par, Par, and a huge drive on 6 sets up an easy birdie.(-4)

Brian "Putting Butcher" Babson - (-2)
A perfect drive on 4 makes it so he can reach the par 5 in two, then he's able to make the 2 putt birdie. Number 5 is bogeyed but this time it's not the putters fault, his sand wedge was the culprit.(-2)




Group 3 - Holes 1 - 3

Jimmy Fuijita -(-5)
Second shot ends up in the shortside bunker and he can't get up and down - bogey. Par at 2 is followed by Jimmy going for too much on his drive and hooking the ball into the water on the left. The drop area - due to where the ball last crossed land, gave Fuijita no shot at going for the green, in fact, trees prevented him from being able to go far down the fairway. The 4th shot missed the green, 5th shot chip came up well short and 2 putts later Jimmy records a 7 - triple bogey. In a span of the first 3 holes he has dropped 4 strokes - OUCH.(-1)

Kyle Smith - (-5)
Pars number 1, but ends up in a greenside bunker on 2 and - you guessed it - he got a bogey. Pars 3..(-4)

Michael Weideman -(-7)
In the fairway bunker off the tee at 1. Misses the green with the second shot and doesn't get up and down - bogey.(-6)

[Breeze]

Group 1 - Holes10 - 12

Rolin Bywater - (EVEN)
Rolin hits a perfect drive on 10 which sets up birdie. Then an unfortunate bogey at 11 sets him back. However, he rebounds on 12 with a solidly played birdie to get back under par.(-1)

AJ Tucker - (-1)
3 uneventful pars. (-1)



Group 2 - Holes 7 - 9

Mike Tokunaga -(-4)
Tokunaga leaves a birdie putt from 30 feet just over 5 feet short, then he quickly hits the second putt and misses the hole completely. Settles for a front 9 score of 38 (-3)

Brian "Putting Butcher" Babson - (-2)
Babson plays the last 3 holes on the front without a chance to go under or over par (well with his putting he could always go over par, but he didn't have any scary moments with the putter on the last few holes). Front 9 score of 39.(-2)




Group 3 - Holes 4 - 6

Jimmy Fuijita -(-1)
Nearly reaches the par 5 - 4th in two, but does get up and down for birdie. At the par 5 6th, the drive is only 250, but because it's a par 5, he lays up with the second shot to allow a full wedge 3rd. Which is executed beautifully and the 7 foot birdie putt is made.(-3)

Kyle Smith - (-4)
Smith reaches the 4th hole in two (barely), he has over 40 feet on the first putt, but the lag ends up only 3 feet and that is made for birdie..(-5)

Michael Weideman -(-6)
Plays smart on 4 and ends up with a birdie. (-7)



Group 4 - holes 1 - 3


Shane Kormelink - (-7)
Tee ball on 1 finds the fairway bunkers to the right - ends up with a bogey. The stroke is picked back up at 2 with a 18 foot putt that was right in the heart. The second shot at 4 misses the green to the left. It isn't in the trap, but is in deep grass. He can't get up and down and bogeys for the second time in 3 holes.(-6)

Kevin Wayne - (-7)
Wayne plays 3 great shots on number 1 into a birdie. On 2 his 5 iron off the tee stops only 4 and half feet from the hole and the short putt for bird is made. Number 3 is parred without much difficulty.(-9)

Kyle Kappe III -(-8)
Missed the fairway on one from the tee, but was still in the long grass around the bunker. 2nd shot didn't hit the green and he is unable to save par. A 20 foot putt was needed on 2 to save par - and he got it. On 3 - the first shot is hooked left, he doesn't end up in the water, but he puts himself in a tough position behind a tree. He attempts to hook the ball around the tree and reach the green, but actually the hook is too quick and the ball finds the water. Unfortunately this ends up being yet another triple bogey.(-5)

[sterlingice]

Shoulda stuck with what you're good at, Butcher

SI

[dolfin]

9 under! I'm making a run!

Now if I can just birdie out!!!

[kingfc22]

Lots of bogeys so far this round. With the consistent play shown by TE Almighty so far, I think has a good chance to make a run if Mayes has trouble like the rest of the field.

[JAG]

Who knew this putting thing was so important? This next tournament I'll have to jump out to a big lead early.

[Breeze]

Travis,

No way currently to improve on your stats, but if you guys want to propose ways to do that...I'll consider it for next season. I'll also try to dream up a way to have your stats more fluid for next season...improving or declining based on what you practice.

[JAG]

Fluid stats...that's a pretty cool idea Breeze. It would probably add a good deal of work to what's already quite a lot though, so you might want to think that one through.

[Blade]

I think that is a pretty good idea...if you are up for it, that is...

Man, I need some consistency to my game! Up and down, up and down...I feel like I am in a charge-by-the-hour motel!

[Travis]

Just musing, but could do a once a month training package that would improve one attribute while declining another one. Could do a dice roll for each where (say a 6 sided dice) 1 and 2 could result in no gain (or loss), 3 and 4 a minimal gain (or loss) with 5 and 6 being a big gain (and loss) rolling once for the gain and again for the loss.

Again, this is just off the top of my head, feel free to pick apart and add to it.

[tucker342]

ouch..... not a good start....

[Breeze]

Group 1 - Holes13 - 15

Rolin Bywater - (-1)
3 pars.(-1)

AJ Tucker - (-1)
Makes a 17 foot putt on 13 for birdie - other 2 are pars. (-2)



Group 2 - Holes 10 -12

Mike Tokunaga -(-3)
Nothing of interest as he pars all 3.(-3)

Brian "Putting Butcher" Babson - (-2)
Par, Par and on the par 5 12th hole, Babson misses the green in two. Chips up, but leaves himself 25 feet for birdie. The birdie putt is hit overly aggressively and the ball doesn't stop rolling until it's almost 10 feet way. Babson's comeback putt is - made - and the the crowd goes wild.(-2)




Group 3 - Holes 7 - 9

Jimmy Fuijita -(-3)
Par, just misses a 23 footer on 8 for birdie, then a short drive forces Fuijita to use a long iron for his approach at 9, which doesn't hold the green. The chip is executed pretty well dispite a bad lie, but he doen't make the 16 foot putt for par. Front 9 score of 39 - 3 over par.- the triple is really hard to overcome.(-2)

Kyle Smith - (-5)
Smith makes a 14 foot putt for par on 8 then he hits a drive on 9 as bad as Fuijita did, and the results were the same - bogey. Front 9 score 37.(-4)

Michael Weideman -(-7)
Par on 7. On 8 he hits a great drive, which leaves him only 165 yards. He elects to hit a hard 8 and go at the flag which is tucked in the front corner close to the lake. The ball is pulled just slightly, but it's enough - because of the pin placement the pull, which would have landed only 10 feet from the pin if it was in the middle of the green - ends up in the water. The drop location leaves a tough 4th shot, because a bunker lies between Michael and the hole with only about 12 feet of green short of the pin. Michael, elects to stay aggressive and attempt to hit a high flop shot, the ball hits the lip of the bunker and falls back in. I'll spare you the details, but sum it up by saying this 3-some just got it's second triple on the front 9. The 9th is parred and the front 9 is scored a 39. (-4)



Group 4 - Holes 4 - 6

Shane Kormelink - (-6)
2 solid pars followed by an even better birdie on 6. (-7)

Kevin Wayne - (-9)
On 4 - a good drive, good second shot layup, good 3rd shot onto the green, and the 13 footer was made for birdie. 2nd shot at 5 is only 5 feet and the putt is made for 2nd straight birdie. Number 6 could have been birdied if the 11 foot putt had fallen. That makes 4 birdies in 6 holes - Wayne is at the very least making a bid for a nice paycheck. Somehow I don't think Mayes is sweating this charge much(-11)

Kyle Kappe III -(-5)
A good drive and nice layup on 4 are wasted when the 3rd shot is poor and finishes almost 30 feet from the hole. Par at 5 and 6. (-5)




Group 5 - Holes 1 - 3

Duncan Baxter - (-11)
2 solid pars are followed by a typical Baxter birdie - drive in the fairway, iron to the middle of the green and sinking around a 20 foot putt.. (-12)

TE Almighty - (-12)
It's early in the season, but the only player to be in the last group for both tournaments is TE. However his good play was put on hold on the first hole. He scraped the ball around, didn't get up and down from the fringe and reported a bogey. The next 2 holes were parred.(-11)

Colton Mayes - (-20)
Mayes is normally a closer, but his big lead may have caused his normally iron willed focus to be a little off. He starts the first hole off by driving the ball in the fairway bunkers to the right - then going beach to beach as his second shot is in a greenside bunker. He eventually bogeys the hole. The second green is missed when his 4 iron is left right. He doesn't get up and down and settles for his second bogey. Mayes is a streaky player, as should have been obvious on Thursday when he made 6 straight birdies, however streaks go both ways and this could be a sign that he's headed in the wrong direction. (-18)

[Breeze]

Group 1 - Holes16 - 18

Rolin Bywater - (-1)
Par, Par, and a perfectly played birdie on 18, closes the back 9 in 34 and the round at even par 72.(-2)

AJ Tucker - (-2)
Birdie at 16 when he played to the par 5 green in regulation and sank the 13 foot putt. He also made a 12+ foot putt at 17 to save par. A bad drive in the rough on 18 was followed by a second shot that didn't reach the green, and the chance at up and down wasn't executed. (-2)



Group 2 - Holes 13 - 15

Mike Tokunaga -(-3)
Sinks a 14 foot birdie putt on 13, but misses an 8 foot par putt on 14.(-3)

Brian "Putting Butcher" Babson - (-2)
The hot putting for Babson was short lived (maybe it was just luck). Babson follows up the dramatic putt on 12 by 3 putting from inside 20 feet on 13. (-1)



Group 3 - Holes 10 - 12

Jimmy Fuijita -(-2)
Made a downhill 8 footer for birdie on 10, and it's a good thing, had he missed he would have faced a longer putt coming back. Missed a putt for birdie on 11 from about 12 feet and missed another birdie putt on 12 from around 15 feet..(-3)

Kyle Smith - (-4)
Birdies number 11 when his second shot 8 iron spins back to 3 feet. Number 12 is bogeyed when a short drive is followed by 2 more poor shots and then a chip and a 2 putt.(-4)

Michael Weideman -(-4)
Like Smith Weideman hit a great 2nd shot on 11 that sets up an easy 6 foot birdie putt.. (-5)




Group 4 - Holes 7 - 9

Shane Kormelink - (-7)
Pars 7 but the drive at 8 is in the rough and he can't manage to scratch out a par. Number 9 is parred. Front 9 score 37. (-6)

Kevin Wayne - (-11)
Wayne pars 7. On 8 his drive misses the fairway in the deep rough on the left. He takes a big hack at the ball trying to generate the club head speed needed to hit the ball out of the grass. During the swing the long grass grabs the club and turns it, twisting Waynes wrist in the process. He attempts to continue playing but the next swing is quite painful. He finishes out the hole with a double bogey. With the pain in his wrist and the knowledge that the Masters is coming up, Wayne decides to withdraw rather than risk further injury that could hinder his play throughout the year.(WD)

Kyle Kappe III -(-5)
Missed a makeable 11 foot birdie putt on 7, then makes a 17 foot par putt on 8, then a great iron on 9 sets up a birdie. Front 9 score 38 (-6)



Group 5 - Holes 4 - 6

Duncan Baxter - (-12)
Just like Saturday's round - Baxter plays the par 5 4th hole to the green in regulation, hitting a 9 iron for the 3rd shot to within 10 feet, then he makes the putt for birdie. A short drive, event for Baxter's standard on 6 prevents him from getting into attack mode. His 3rd shot approach to the green is nearly 30 feet away - so in his conservative nature he lags up nicely and makes the short par putt. (-13)

TE Almighty - (-11)
Almighty was disappointed when his drive at 4 missed the fairway and in affect took away any shot of going for the green in two. He tried to tuck his 3rd shot approach up to the pin, but the ball spun back a good 23 feet before it came to rest. He did hit a drive right down the middle on 5, and then played a good approach and made the 10 foot birdie putt. On the par 5 6th hole Almighty played more conservative off the tee. Figuring he wasn't going to cover 560 yards in two shots, he layed up to allow himself a full wedge, which he executed beautifully and he only had to sink a 4 footer for bird..(-13)

Colton Mayes - (-18)
A disappointing par on 4, a scrambled par on 5, then a huge drive down the middle on 6. He elects not to go for the green in 2, but does hit one up to about 20 yards short of the green. A nice chip and a putt later and Mayes gets one of his strokes back. (-19)

Man, No. 8 really is the toughest hole on the course. Tough enough to take me out of my nice paycheck.

Following the trend of our society... Can I sue Bay Hill?

I better at least get a medical exemption!

[pskov]

Heh, Mayes looks a bit flustered. 12 holes to go and anything can happen...

Group 2 - Holes 16 - 18

Mike Tokunaga -(-3)
Pars at 16 and 17 are followed by a bogey at 18 - set up by missing the green with his 5 iron from 180+ yards. Back 9 score of 37 - round score of 75, and finishing at -2 puts him into a tie with Bywater and Tucker and costs him a good amount of money.(-2)

Brian "Putting Butcher" Babson - (-1)
Once again Babson's length is a saving grace - he hits his drive at 16 - 346 yards in the middle of the fairway. Reaches the par 5 in two with a 7 iron. The shot stops 14 feet from the pin, but the eagle putt is of course missed, but this time he left himself only inches for a tap in birdie. He pars 17 and hits a good drive at 18, hoping to get to 3 under and ahead of Bywater and Tucker, but his second shot missed the green and he had to settle for a par. Back 9 score of 36: Round score of 75.(-2)



Group 3 - Holes 13 - 15

Jimmy Fuijita -(-3)
Made a 12 footer to save par after a poor chip on 15.(-3)

Kyle Smith - (-4)
A perfect drive at 15 allows him to go at the flag. The iron shot is only 5 feet away and the putt is made for birdie. .(-5)

Michael Weideman -(-5)
3 Pars(-5)



Group 4 - Holes 10 - 12

Shane Kormelink - (-6)
Bird at 10 set up by a beautiful drive, but an approach shot that finds the sand at 11 leads to a bogey. (-6)

Kyle Kappe III -(-6)
3 pars - nothing to write about.(-6)



Group 5 - Holes 7 - 9

Duncan Baxter - (-13)
Baxter's 5 iron off the tee at 7 stops 14 feet from the hole - but the putt is made for birdie. On 8 it's fairway drive, middle of the green, 18 foot putt dropped for birdie. On 9 Baxter hits a bad drive and actually misses this huge fairway. His second shot isn't on the green and he doesn't get up and down, so he gives a stroke back. He finishes the front 9 with a 3 under 33. (-14)

TE Almighty - (-13)
Almighty's iron off the tee at 7 is good, he ends up about 14 feet away, but on the opposite side of the pin from Baxter. He putts after Baxter to the same results. The last 2 holes on the front are pars and he closes the front with a 2 under 34. Looks like at worse we'll have a nice run for second place.(-14)

Colton Mayes - (-19)
Mayes pars botn 7 and 8, but on 9 he hits a perfect drive then a good approach then he made the 9 foot birdie putt. The bird on 18 gets him back to even par on the front 9 and it seems to have ended any risk of a cold streak taking hold. (-20)

Group 3 - Holes 16 - 18

Jimmy Fuijita -(-3)
Hoping to at least stay 3 under to stay ahead of the players in the earlier group - Jimmy pars 16, gets up and down from the fringe for par on 17 and pars 18. Back 9 is a i under par 35 and the round is 2 over 74.(-3)

Kyle Smith - (-5)
Gets second straight birdie by hitting a huge drive at 16 and reaching the green in two. No real eagle chance, but lagged up nicely for birdie. Pars out for there to shoot a 34 on the back and a 71 for the round.(-6)

Michael Weideman -(-5)
Par at 16 followed by a 3 putt bogey on 17. Par at 18 and Michael shoots 36 on teh back and 75 for the round.(-4)



Group 4 - Holes 13 - 15

Shane Kormelink - (-6)
Bogey's 14 when the iron off the tee misses the green. (-5)

Kyle Kappe III -(-6)
A 15 foot birdie putt at 13 drops. Pars 14 and 15.(-7)




Group 5 - Holes 10 - 12

Duncan Baxter - (-14)
A good rebound from the bogey at 9. He birdies 10 with another 10 or so foot putt, then an iron approach shot on 11 stops 2 feet from the hole for a second straight birdie, and on 12 he plays the par 5 conservatively, but the 3 shot iron is inside 10 feet and red hot putting Baxter dropped it - 3 birdies to start the back.. (-17)

TE Almighty - (-14)
Only manages a par on 10, but does birdie 11 by hitting 3 good shots. 12 is parred when he misses a 20 foot birdie putt.(-15)

Colton Mayes - (-20)
Mayes pars 10. On 11 he hits a good drive down the right side. Then his approach iron is pretty poor considering he had an 8 iron in his hand, but it's irrelevent because the 28 foot putt dropped for birdie.(-21)

Group 4 - Holes 16 - 18

Shane Kormelink - (-5)
Pars out and finishes with a 37 on the back and a 74 for the round.(-5)

Kyle Kappe III -(-7)
Gets a bird at 16 but can't hang on to that stroke as a bunker at 18 cause him to give it back..(-7)



Group 5 - Holes 13 - 15

Duncan Baxter - (-17)
Baxter's hot play on the previous 3 didn't carry over. He managed 3 pars, and actually needed to get up and down on 14 to save par. (-17)

TE Almighty - (-15)
TE got one stroke back on Baxter in the race for second when he made a 13 foot putt on 16.(-16)

Colton Mayes - (-21)
Mayes birdies 16 like Almighty, but his big drive allowed him to reach the green in two then 2 putt. (-22)

[Blade6119]

startin to sweat...those other 2 are getting too close for comfort

[pskov]

3 holes left, back 5 strokes. The tension builds. Actually, I think that you have it wrapped up already Blade. Mayes has been playing too grrod today to throw it away down the stretch.



Or has he.........
