I don't think we do.  We'll get to see hisfull hole-by-hole score, but we're still (I suspect) not going to find out anything until after he's completely finished. At least that's how it works in the tournaments I play in.  There certainly aren't any live scorers following us around, but after the round the organizers upload everything into bluegolf.com and so there is a record of everything.

The link is updating every few minutes with hole by hole results, but only capturing them at holes 4, 9, 13, and 18. Very cool..... I say he shoots 80 even.

So, am I correct to assume that "Travis Philpot" quit after 4 holes on the front and back? It looks like +7 does not make the cut?

I think they are playing modified blue tees "6668 yards"

Normal Blues are: 71.4/127 at 6525 yards.

Lol.. not sure.. the scoring is always off. You can choose not to give someone your scores. Every three holes they typically just say name and last 3 scores and that is how it is updated here at least. Did you see Johnny Miller is playing in this thing?

Isn't he the long drive kid? I don't think he's the "Johnny Miller". He shot even par.

I think he needs to shoot +4 or less (if there are more +3 guys in the final count) to be one of the "37" that go to the 105th Oregon Amateur.

EDIT: first 4 holes are: birdie and 3 bogies. He probably won't make the cut. I'll give him 25% chance, right now. May go up if he gets more pars.

I'll estimate 79 final score.

Well that's what happens when you start 1,1,1,1 on 3 par 4's and a par 5.

Somebody should keep an eye on him ... I bet he's Kim Jong Un in disguise!!

http://www.ghintpp.com/OregonGA/TPPOnlineScoring/CourseStats.aspx?id=372 Based on the averages of those holes so far, a 77 is about the middle score. Since 37 of the 73 move on, I'd think Dan needs a 77 or thereabouts. He's +6 thru 9. That's 78 if he pars every hole on the back.

Right now, the projected cut shows all of the guys T42 as advancing, so something deson't quite add up.

But, if it really is 37, I agree, he's gonna have to probably shoot -1 the rest of the way to get in.

EDIT:  Ouch!  Birdied 10, parred 11 and 12, and a snowman on 13!!!!!!!!!!

Too many people are finishing with 71-76, already 36 guys finished with 82 or less. I predict Drew Pairamore will get 1st or T1/2

Dan's done , he won't make the 37. He's 9 over with 5 holes left.

He's out. Everyone in the tournament is at least a 5 handicap, so, I wonder what caused the mid 80s and the one 90 score? The cut is 78 (projected)

Honestly, I think my son could probably tie Dan, and I would come in 10-12 strokes higher.
