Carlos @ Colonial

[Mean Green Matt]

He shoots an even par 70 in round 1. Currently tied for 24th but I imagine that will fall to around 40-45 by the end of the day.

[Mean Green Matt]

So he dropped to a tie for 56th after day one (with only a few players left on the course. +1 and worse would be cut if it ended today. Carlos really needs an under par round tomorrow.

Ortiz tied for 33rd at -1 overall through 12 holes today.

In other news, former NT golfer Joel Edwards is 6 strokes odd the lead and appears will make the cut at the senior PGA.

My mom scored for Carlos on Saturday and she said he was the nicest guy in the group.  She also said he had a pretty good size crowd following for most of the round and you could tell that they were following the group to watch him (mostly Hispanics or people wearing UNT gear).  I watched him play a few holes one Sunday and his swing looked really good, but he just couldn't buy a putt out there.

Watched him at the Nelson today. Looked pretty good.

Not good enough. He's outside the cut line after round 1. Anything over par won't get the job done on this course. Good news is he has another round.

Thought he was even?

He is -1 for the day, even overall tied for 70ieth after 13 holes. That is smack on the cutline, but I feel like the cutline will move to squeeze out everyone who finishes even, so he needs to find another birdy somewhere.

 

By the way, how often does it happen, that a PGA tour event plays a round on course where par is 69?

Par is 70 at TPC Las Colinas. It looks like Carlos will make the cut. Not sure how it works when enough players still have to finish round two that could theoretically move the cut line to -2.

FYI, par was 69 today as they shortened a hole by about 200 yards because of the condition of the course.

​Interesting.  If this rain keeps up it'll be a par 54 by Sunday.

Carlos misses the second cut after round 3. 

Cauzabon on the Latin America tour was tied for 25 last I saw. 

[outoftown]

This week carlos missed the cut by a stroke.

Cazaubon on the other hand is leading the dominican republic open by 3 shots after the 3rd round. If he could win it, not only would he pocket 31k (chump change to Carlos by now), but also virtually guarantee promotion to the web.com tour next season.

[Mean Green Matt]

Cauzabon wins in the Dominican Republic for his second win of the season and moved to #1 on the Latin America money list at the halfway mark of the season. The top 5 move to the web.com tour. 

[outoftown]

UNT alumn Rodolfo Cazaubon DID win the Domenican republic open, and is now number 1 on the PGA tour Latinoamerica. I assume he will be on the web.com tour next season.
