Shh! They took Foundation's suggestion, played it in secret, recorded it perfectly, and will be pretending it's a crisp, non-glitchy live broadcast (with follow-flights and everything) when they play it back starting Friday.

Except the winner came from the chase card and they missed video of the winner.

THAT'S HOW TO USE THE SPOILER BUTTON!

Steve, what's the conventional thought on Jonesboro's hole 18? It's always been one of my favorites to play and watch on coverage.

 

[Spectacledbear]

If only every hole was as good as 10 and 18... Instead most of the holes are snooze to watch.

I think back 9 just about rescues an immensely forgettable front 9.

How would I know?

Is it just 3 rounds?

Friday looks like the nicest of the 3 rounds (50s-60s and <10mph wind),
Saturday is showing some rain showers coming through for the full FPO field and part of the early afternoon for MPO - lead/chase card may get a slight advantage
Sunday amps up the wind to 15-20mph.

Wind direction is forecast the same for all 3 days (NW).
Jonesboro did get pushed later in April a couple weeks progressively over the last few years to now taking up the former GBO/DDO final April weekend probably to get a bit more springtime weather/growth on the course.

I like Jonesboro because it has stayed pretty much the same layout for multiple years in a row now (MPO 9885ft->9995ft and FPO 8537ft->8572ft in 2022). It makes good use of the terrain and demands a variety of shots out of the pros with some scrambling from errant/out of position shots and risky putting/approaching the greens on slopes/elevated baskets. The elevation changes don't seem to translate to the media coverage well but it is fun seeing some of those power distance drives across valleys.

It inversely correlates with the model yes?

There are a lot more kinds of different besides opposite.

That press conference was legit. I'm rooting for KatMertsch.

Typically that's where the TD puts potential injury dropouts, as it seems Paige has since done.

Tattar with a not so hot first round.

Tattar with a not so hot first round.

Who's gonna start the obligatory "Has Tattar peaked?" thread?

Kidding aside, it very unlike Kristin to finish 7 stroke behind the leader. Lets see how tomorrow goes.

Sexton is becoming almost a sufferable as Doss. He makes everything about himself.

I have a few days left on my DGN subscription and have to agree. They talk a lot about themselves. I guess they have to fill dead air.

I'd been mainly watching FPO and that seemed much more about the players
