To be honest, I'm not following that closely, but I did notice this hole in one prize. An excavator! Don't you need a special license to work one of these things?

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

It's like the movie [i]Over the Top,[/i] where Sylvester Stallone enters the national arm-wrestling championship in order to win a new semi-truck. Are the tournament organizers taking their cues from "Let's Make a Deal?" Is there an XC90 hiding behind the backhoe waiting to be revealed in the case someone actually does make a hole-in-one?

Actually LOosterhuisen made a HIO a few years back and won a Volvo car.  But what he needed to work around his hobby farm/vineyards was a small digger machine so Volvo provided that, not the car.

And the best/worst HIO prize i've seen, not at a pro tourney, was 2 tons of bagged portland cement.

French revolution going on there. Quesne (1), Levy (T2), Wattel (T4) and Lando Casanova (T4) on top of the leaderboard. Local hero Li, who lost the play-off last week, is also T4 and three shots behind the leader.

PUihlein is the USA guy tied at 2nd place at -7, one behind the leader.  6 guys at -5, including 2 chinese, 3 frenchies, one thai and one italian.

DLipsky and NColsaerts both miss cut, set at +2.

I went to the European Tour's website to figure out who you had given the nickname "Lando Casanova" to, and lo and behold, that's his real damned name! Something new every time...

That is a tremendous name... 4 tied for the lead heading into Sunday. Local favorites Ashun Wu & Hao Tong Li, as well as defending champ Alexander Levy and Englishman David Howell.

Local guy Wu Ashun wins. Sensational win, after Howell messes it up on the 18th and finishes second.

And… an Evolvr student finishes inside the top 15. Yay.

Which player?

I was vague (but truthful) on purpose. :-)

Do you Evolvr guys have some kind of 'non-disclosure' agreement with pro players, or secret pact in sharing the winnings?

Just wondering about why the vagueness in identifying that player?

My guess thoughts: if in top 10, would have said, so probably between 10-15 name list, many tie scores so if only counting players and not finishing place, who's left?  Probably not a chinese of korean guy (language issues), only one USA guy, PUihlein who has lots of 'help',  final guess: SBenson of UK.

No, and no. We just don't see any real benefit in identifying people.

Top 15. Somewhere between 1-15. Very happy for the guy. He's our third Tour player on Evolvr. We never identified the first two, either…

@iacas , when a tour pro utilizes evolvr, does he typically work with one guy? Or do the instructors collaborate a bit?

It depends. But we all talk about it. As you may guess, their "issues" are smaller and more nuanced.
