re: US Amateur qualifying tournament at beaver creek July 10th

Thanks for letting us know.

NM. Found it

They played 11 as a par 4, not a par 5. It was a par 71.

Still would have expected it to be lower, but maybe they had some tough pins/wind.

I told you what would win it.

I said 7-9, TDTOM said 11-14.

Were some of y’all expecting a couple 59s? -8 still won it, that’s pretty low.

For 2 rounds? Not really. I thought there would be a 65-67 or vice versa. Somewhere around there. I did not know they were going to play 11 as a par four though. That was pretty much a guaranteed birdie as a 5.

I played in the event and the conditions were tough. Course was in solid condition. Wind was whipping but it was still quite hot. Pins were tucked but nothing too crazy. #11 playing as a par 4 was a bit silly. I went 5-4 on it for my rounds.

I played with a guy who shot -5 for the day. He was very impressive. Beaver just demands some tee balls and gotta hit greens.

I thought the greens were fine and rolled well. Yes I did. I’m one of the guys at the very bottom of the leaderboard. Character building exercise for me. Good experience and now back to the grind.

Agreed. Awesome guy and has the game to take it to the next level - mental and physical. I’m definitely a fan now. Look forward to watching his career going forward.

It is hot and in Denver.
