2019 CSCC First Round
I walked with Paul Goydos and Tommy Tolles today. Paul shot a bogey-free 65 with three lip-outs and two more near misses on quite makeable putts, and is T3 behind Jeff Maggert (63) and Bernard Langer (64).
Tommy shot 69. He was 4 under par on the front 9, with six birdies and two bogies, and one drive in the wrong fairway. Then 2 over par on the back, with one drive in the wrong fairway, and one in the wrong rough. That last was on the 14th hole, and his recovery shot through the trees landed on the cart path and bounced over the green. Behind that green is someone's back yard, marked by out-of-bounds stakes and a gallery rope. He was so close to OB that he had to move the gallery rope to play his next shot. He got up and down for par.
Paul was also 4 under on the front, and they had 10 birdies between them on those first 9 holes.
Paul missed two fairways (3 and 18) by a total of about a foot, both times on the left. On 3 the pin was back right, and on 18 the fairway bunker is on the right. One could say quite credibly that he hit even those two shots within 3 yards of where he was aiming. The rest were pretty much on the centerline.
