Round 1 - As anticipated, Erin Hills has not proved to be an easy course on which to score well, as all the guest players so far have discovered. The best performer of our group in the opening round was Randy Grant whose 70 rewarded him with a share of 14th spot, four strokes off the pace. In a huge bunch tied for 35th, after carding opening day 72's, are Hans Kunok, Ian McKinley, Mark Lipping and Olly Jose-Maria. Finally, Bob Fletcher, who was not too displeased with his 73, lies tied 53rd. All the guests have plenty of work to do if they are to achieve a decent finish come next Sunday, but it won't be easy...

Round 3 - One of our guest players has dragged himself clear of the mire of obscurity up to the high ground of potential glory. That player is Barney Buss whose hard-working 68 today now places him tied 3rd, just one stroke behind the joint leaders. Five strokes behind Barney, in a share of 20th, are Olly Jose-Maria and Randy Grant who carded respective rounds of 70 and 71. Roger Instell's second level par round of the event, a 72, has him a further shot back, while Bob Fletcher's 72 sees him lingering in a share of 47th place and hoping for a sub-70 in the final round. Ian McKinley, with a 76, and Hans Kunok, with a 77, are both having a week they would prefer to forget. So, it's all set up nicely for the tournament climax...

Round 4 - Try as he might, Barney Buss was unable to catch overnight joint leader Deane Beman today, but still managed to sign off with his fourth sub-par score of the event, a 71, to finish in a tie for 2nd place, 3 shots behind the winner. The next best-placed guest was Roger Instell, way back in a share of 26th, as he too carded a 71 today. Bob Fletcher also recorded a 71 to conclude the event in a tie for 47th, while Olly Jose-Maria and Randy Grant struggled in with a pair of 77's to finish in a share of 70th spot. Mark Lipping's second 74 of the tourney meant he ended a forgetable week, for him anyway, in the unfamiliar position of tied 75th. Ian McKinley shot his third level par round of 72 to finish a stroke behind Mark, while Hans Kunok's 73 had him scratching his head wondering what's happened to his A-game...
