What an incredible scoreboard. The 7-8-9 and 10 picks in the draft lead the way. The 1 and 2 picks left floundering at the bottom of the scoreboard with Scheffler on +3, McIlroy +4. My own cut prediction is about +5. Good luck on day 2 everyone.

My current fear....

If DT isn't involved in the weekend, he'll shut down the boards for "yearly maintenance."

Or the mysterious "Double-Secret Probation" clause will be invoked.

Sometimes the scoreboard goes awry after the cut is made, so just posting these standings with a few holes to go.


EDIT: updated the scoreboard above. Here is how we stand after Round 2. Bil522 will be allocated a couple of players from the bottom of the full leaderboard who are not already in our contest - at first glance that might be Thorbjorn Olesen and Edoardo Molinari, I'll check it out in a bit

Yikes just got to our next RV Park in Salem, OR. drove almost 4 hours from Coos Bay. Beautiful country. I guess I was due for a Mariner like performance.

Crazy how the first round draft picks did so poorly. Who would have guessed that Russell Henley would be the best score of the top 10

So, the 156 best golfers in the world get together and only three of them are barely under par after two rounds. That course is bullshit.

Or it’s set up just right and the courses where the winner gets -25 are bull. I would love to have a group of barely scratch golfers playing at the same time to show just how hard the course is. I like that they make this challenge for them.

I see your point. An ultimate challenge for the best of the best. My problem is that no mortal can play that course in under maybe 135. It's just unrelatable to a regular Sunday golfer. You can look at Augusta or even the freaky pot bunkers in the British Opens or the 17th at TPC Sawgrass and imagine what if. But not at this joint.

Is playing 4 straight days at 6 under on a course with a rating of 76 at 7500 yards relatable? It’s just another way to show that these hits are just on another level
