70 and 68 put the player at −4 through 36. Fairways ran 79%, 79%, then 64%; greens 14, 15, then 10. In R3 driver found 6 of 10, three went into recovery, and three three-putts followed. Inside 6 ft held every round: 47 of 49 for the week.
Into the next start: keep driver, 21 of 29 for the week. Make the lay-back club earn its place on the fairway. And work the lag putt: five three-putts, every one on a green hit in regulation.
One block per round: the cause the engine named, and the decision it sends into the next one.
The irons carried the round: 14 of 18 greens, 11 of 13 inside 160. Every bogey (H4, H10, H14, H17) carried a par putt from 5 ft and out, and all four missed. Inside 6 ft was 16 of 17, so the short putt was not the problem; the second putt after a long first one was.
Driver found 8 of 9 fairways and every full wedge found the green, 9 of 9. The lay-back clubs went 3 of 5: the H4 2-wood was lost and the H14 4-iron found a recovery lie. Both holes ran to a double. Par at H4 and H14 is a 64.
Driver found 6 of 10, three into recovery (H3, H7, H18), and those holes played +2. The H3 4-iron out of the recovery lie stayed in it. Full wedges went 4 of 8. Then three three-putts on greens hit in regulation, from 31, 26 and 37 ft at H8, H9 and H17. Two-putt those three and the card reads 73.
16 of 17, 15 of 15, 16 of 17. The short putt never left him.
The steadiest band of the week, every round.
Three of them in R3, every one on a green hit in regulation.
