Quote Golf Analytics website DataGolf, Thursday, it was simply “a good day to have a game on the PGA Tour”.
One might have been able to speculate that from the broadcast, the flagpole bent from the evil wind, passing through much of Florida and the East Coast. Bay Hill is more of a torture room than the highest professionals. They are not alone either. The Epson Tour event was held several hours north of Orlando on Atlantic Beach, with 37 women failing to break through to the 80-year-old.
But in Orlando, the 16 players who averaged the first round at the Arnold Palmer Invitational averaged 77.4, which is five (or worse). But the group that started a few hours later saw a little deviant in the afternoon. And the final group? They are very easy. The last 12 players were only 73 years old and had 4 swings in the weather wave, just as big as you’re all season.
Unfortunately, when players are not scoring well, they don’t often tend to talk to the media afterwards, so few players are interviewed in the morning wave. Scottie Scheffler started with 71 in PAR 71 and was asked about the most challenging elements on Thursday. Scottie Scheffler chooses not to select.
“You pick out the poison here,” said the world number one. “You may all use it to create a story. The green is hard, rough at a height with wind facing upwards. ”
Ask the guys in the afternoon and they are happy to watch it on TV in the morning. At around 4 p.m., conditions did start to calm down, leaving Wyndham Clark, Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Shane Lowry booking tickets in the late 1960s. Along with Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose, the two of them hit the 70s below 70s, with the afternoon crowd forming a major part of the early rankings. Just don’t tell them it is The only one About the conditions they face.
bezuidenhout: “It just disappeared like my last two and a half, three holes. We still played most of the game in tough conditions. I’m not sure how wind is today, but if you look at the score and stuff, it actually looks hard. However, this golf course always waving, without the wind.”
Clark: “I can say for sure, like the last five holes, it calmed it a little bit. But then it was hard to find the windy place, so that was a challenge in itself. I would say the vegetables were really roasted. I was surprised at how fast they were in the conditions. Yes, I mean, maybe the last four holes were easier.”
