Chapter 388: Albatross!
Although the Olympic golf tournament has a total of 18 holes played in one day, these 18 holes are not played in one go, because there are too many participants, usually nine holes in the morning and nine holes in the afternoon. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info this point, there are some differences from the golf tournament in the previous life.
In the first half of the morning, the Grandmaster spent a little over two hours playing a total of nine holes, including five par fours, two par threes and two par fives for a par 36.
But in these nine holes, the Grandmaster caught a total of two birdies, the third and seventh holes, and caught an extremely rare vulture in the ninth par-five long hole, and then in the remaining six holes, the Grandmaster shot down all the eagles.
The most important thing is that in these nine holes, the grandmaster made a total of two hole-in-one!
In the morning's nine holes, the grandmaster shot a total of 20, 16 under par!
This is an unprecedented achievement, and it is also an impressive achievement!
The current world record is 72 par 18 and a 57 is 15 under par. That was after 18 holes. The Grandmaster is now shooting a 16-under par score in just nine holes, which is definitely a sky-defying result.
Although perhaps in the next nine holes, the Grandmaster may not be able to play as perverted as he was in the morning, as long as the Grandmaster hits an even-par score, then this 48-year-old bearded record will be immediately broken by the Grandmaster.
Grandmaster can be in such a perverted state this morning, who can guarantee that he will not make a dazzling result in those nine holes in the afternoon?
Through the morning game, many professionals have been completely sure that in terms of the level that the grandmaster is currently showing, the three-shot short hole is for him to birdie, the four-shot middle hole is for this guy to shoot the eagle, as for the par-five hole, shooting the eagle is the minimum standard, you don't see the two par-five long holes in the morning, this guy shot down the eagle, and the other directly caught a vulture!
You must know that the vulture captured by the Grandmaster this morning has only happened three times in the history of recorded official golf tournaments! And the condor ball that the Grandmaster played on the ninth hole this time is the fourth vulture ball in all the official golf tournaments in the world!
Such a dazzling result was enough for the Grandmaster to take the first place in the golf tournament that ended this morning.
And in the course of this morning, Grandmaster has also made his name known to almost all golf fans around the world!
Although the Grandmaster's perverted results cannot be compared with the gold medalists in other events, the 16-under-par score scored by the Grandmaster in the lunchtime bulletins of major media has also become a headline on a par with those who won gold medals.
Although the audience of golf is not as wide as that of snooker, most of the people who can play golf are some celebrities or wealthy businessmen with social status, so after the New Year's concert held by the grandmaster on New Year's Day, he once again let his name spread among these celebrities and wealthy businessmen.
At noon, I accompanied Fang Zhengying to have lunch. Fang Zhengying also has a tournament today, but the first round of women's golf is only for one day.
Fang Zhengying's results were also good today, with a one-under-par score on the nine-hole and is currently in seventh place among all 64 players.
Fang Zhengying was also a little dissatisfied with this result, according to her, at least three shots were able to catch birdies today, but there was a mistake in the putt, and only one birdie was caught.
If Fang had made all three birdies in the morning, she would now be tied for first place with Great Britain's Sophia Singh on a three-under-par score.
For Fang Zhengying's little depression, the grandmaster could only patiently enlighten, and the two of them were so tired of noon, until two o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them came to the court for the afternoon game.
In the afternoon competition, the Grandmaster continued the highlight performance of the morning. On the par 4 middle hole of the tenth hole, the grandmaster made a birdie.
The eleventh hole was a short par three, with the grandmaster going up to the green and a flat cup to keep a birdie.
The twelfth hole was a par 5 with the grandmaster shooting two greens and a putt to shoot the first eagle of the afternoon, and the seventh eagle of the day!
Usually, even those top professional players don't necessarily be able to hit an eagle ball in a round when they participate in a top tournament like a Grand Slam, but the grandmaster is good, playing twelve holes and shooting down seven eagles!
For the grandmaster's move of catching birds and shooting eagles at every turn, his opponent was helpless to the point of numbness. After 12 holes, the par 48 was a par, but the best man in the group, Anderson Palmer, only shot a 45.
What about the grandmasters? 28 on 12 holes! Less than 2.5 on average on one hole!
The afternoon was a bit warmer, so the pace of playing in the afternoon was significantly slower than in the morning, but even then, by the time the remaining six holes were played, it was only around half past five in the afternoon.
In the afternoon's nine holes, the Grandmaster shot down three eagles, caught five birdies, and captured an albatross on a par-5 hole on the seventeenth hole!
That albatross ball is also very beautiful. The seventeenth hole is a par five, similar to a dog's leg, but the fairway on the seventeenth hole is not too regular, and although the total length of the fairway is 621 yards, the straight-line distance between the green and the tee is much lower than the length of the fairway because the fairway has a distinct angle.
However, because the angle of the fairway is not very large, the distance between the green and the tee is much greater than the ninth hole when the Grandmaster caught the Condor in the morning, and the distance between the two is more than 430 yards.
This kind of distance, even those who are known for their long hits, cannon-type players, dare not guarantee that a single shot will hit the green directly, but for the grandmaster, the distance of 430 yards is just right.
And because the distance between the green and the tee is a bit far away, and the area of the green is not very large, only more than 700 square meters, there are no plants planted on the green ring, but there are a few small bunkers on the outer edge of the green.
For such a good opportunity, the Grandmaster will naturally not let it go. Today he caught N birdies, N eagles, and even a vulture, but he never caught an albatross, so on this hole, the Grandmaster hit a long long shot from the driver from the tee and hit the green directly.
The Grandmaster then played a 26-yard putt, and the ball fell straight into the cup under the watchful eyes of all the spectators on the sidelines.
So, on the penultimate hole, the Grandmaster finally completed the feat of capturing the albatross!
