I liked it!

I believe he ended up 4th at Emporia!

Just thinkin LaRon was in there somewheres... But yeah, Mike is very good. Saw him at Etown and have the worlds video he is in. Kallstrom was 2nd that year at worlds and is a contender!

That seems like a lot of people for your TOP 5 picks.

Wow, Des Reading is not pleased with the courses to say the least.

If they would have talked to her a little later I bet she wouldn't have been as pissed.

1- If she would have shot the hot round, would that have been luck?
2- She did get spit for a 4, I will give her that. He next shot she was pissed and her emotions got the best of her. That was probably 3 feet out didn't even need to throw it.

She is the best women in the world. My bet is she makes a charge for the lead.

I think she does have a point about the length of the course. It does need to be longer. She is also right that it is a slap in the face to play the white tees.

I also agree with her on the trees in the fairway luck thing. Cedar Hill in TX. Everytime a scimmed a tree, I was shot off into the crap. People on my card would hit the crap and kick into the fairway. I even had a dude hit a tree and go into the basket. Not once, but twice. First time from 60 feet, the second time for 160 feet.

Eric proved to all the players at Cedar Hill that it wasn't all luck. He nailed his lines, and made big tons of big putts.

Des will get over it. She will come out today and kill the course and be in position to win in the finals! That is why she is the champ.

Wow indeed..... She had a definite opinion for sure! Angela didn't seem bothered at all, but with a 7 stroke lead why would she be.....

The random trees in the "fairway" does strike me as a little flukey, as does the basket surrounded by trees. It does look like they are playing on a beautiful piece of property judging by some of the pictures at pdga.com.

I have to agree, the basket raised up in the trees seems a little contrived for a world class event. The trees in the middle of the fairway remind me of Indian Hills in Columbia and I am not too partial to that course in tourneys.

I've been watching the live scoring feature today. Looks like Nate Doss is starting to open it up.

Wish I could see more than just the lead card.

would KC use Rosedale Down-under in worlds? i would think that very unlikely. However if the number of courses is limited they may have to play the course for the logistics. I personally am not a fan of that style, especially in a major event.
