It's Torrey Pines South this week - not one of my favourite courses so not expecting too much from myself.
Good luck chaps!!!

I do think there was ever a test as tuff as this US open - If you remember Tiger and Rocco went 18 holes of playoff and Tiger won on the first hole of sudden death, and I believe with a broken bone in his leg. This very demanding golf course and murder if the wind gets up. I also believe it was Torrey Pines where Patrick Reed - moved his ball in the rough - saying it was embedded Happy to finish 1 under - going to be a difficult week I think.  |

ROUND 1Had the ideal start with a chip-in bird on the 1st, then was lucky enough to find a straight putt for bird on the 2nd. Two more birdies completed an excellent front and I was cruising after two more birds on #10 and #14. But then a loose chip on #15 saw a shot dropped, but two late tweeters provided an added boost. I'm sure it's going to get harder...

Round 1
If I can keep from giving back birds it would help.

I just don't play enough anymore to be competitive - health just does not allow it - I am back to Chemo this week - Thursday and Friday - hope to feel good enough to finish on the weekend - good luck chaps  |

Good luck with the chemo Ian, hope it's not too draining mate!!ROUND 2Hit the ball sweetly in this round, and putted well too. Sank a 30-footer on the 2nd for bird but missed a very good eagle chance on the 6th and had to settle for another birdie. On the 7th I holed out from a greenside bunker and negotiated the back nine in under par for a solid performance.

ROUND 3Had to rush this round (and Round 4) as I'm away for the weekend, so very pleased to finish under par. Did something I haven't done for a long time - forgot to change my club on the par 3 8th which cost me a bogey. Bagged a birdie on #14 with a chip-in and generally played well. Now for Round 4...

ROUND 4Inaccurate driving meant more scrambling which, in turn, resulted in a very mixed card. Had a birdie chip-in on #7 and a par save chip-in on 8, and needed a birdie on #18 to get back to level par. A good week's work but I still don't enjoy this course much...
