So defending champion @Bomber18 carries his early dominance into the round 1 lead however there a few snapping at his heels and the whole field is within 9 strokes which I think means everybody is only 1 good game away from being right in the thick of it. It will get a bit more difficult next week with only 2 games available to get 1 good score and shoot up the rankings; however it also true that those up the top could easily have a couple of poor ones and drop down.
Admittedly I was a little nervous with my decision to go with best score when it looked like the best score for most was going to come out of the same game. However with quite a few improving their position in the final game I am happy with the way it turned out particular in comparison to what it would have looked like if I went with aggregate which is provided above for reference.
The rules were clearly defined from the start, and as a result has impacted I'm sure on how most people have chosen to participate.
Personally, knowing that only one score would count, I played more aggressively compared to the practise week, where I mostly went within a bracket or two of the player's season or 3/5-week average. Last week I was trying to pick an 'average' score, this week I went for some calculated risks and some value (such as Ben Brown 90-300+ which I thought he was a reasonable chance of pulling.
Unfortunately my strategy didn't quite pay off how I thought it might; while I often picked 3-4, the 4-5 that I missed badly meant that it often averaged out to around even. My theory was that if I nailed a captain and say 3 other -2s then I'd be sitting nicely at -10 and could afford 1 or 2 shockers.
Back to the drawing board for next week!
