Rick Reichard with a solid first round in MM1!

[Bullseye]

I saw that. Sam Gibson's Ultimate Sandbagger title is clearly on the line.

[Sam]

Whoa, whoa, whoa... I only have so many titles to give away, here...

GO GET 'EM, RICK!!

[bryan_luoma]

Awesome! Well done RR!

[NWDiscer]

NW REPRESENT!!!!!

What pool is he in? Couldn't find him

What pool is he in? Couldn't find him

You were looking too far down the list.

After shooting an unofficial 1001 rated round 1, he is currently leading the "Advanced Masters" division.
:rockon:

Although it looks like there are some ballers in pool F too (started on a different course, I suspect).

Rick still leads his pool after two rounds!

Go Rick!

(Is it possible that someone would still bag in AM divisions after winning a Worlds title?)

And what happened to Marcus Crespi? I can't seem to find him on the results page.

Eric Lund had a nice second round, and is in a good position in his pool.

I had to cancel the trip the day before I left due to work constraints...bummed out.

I think Rick meant to get on a plane to Santa Cruz but ended up in Rochester?

[Scott]

RR shoot 54 in round 3 and extends his lead to six throws.

Link?

You don't believe me? :nono:

Got that from Rick's FB page.

Looks like 3rd round results aren't up yet.

Why would you think that I don't believe you? I was wondering where you got that from since the PDGA page hasn't been updated.

In any case I am glad to hear it!

1001, 989, 1015 for Mr. Reichard...that is some damn fine shooting, sir!

Bring it home Rick and I hope you are wearing your shirt! :yay::rockon:

[bryan_luoma]

Impressive shooting indeed!

"2011 MM1 World Champion" has a nice ring to it.
:cool2:

[Scott]

From Rick on today's round (#4)

"Had a great first round. . . for the first 12 holes. The wheels came off a bit for the last 6. Scambled for a par and gained strokes on 2nd and 3rd but lost 2 to 4th. Still up by 6 on him tho."

and

"I had an eagle tho. Parked a technical 435 foot hole that is listed as a par 4. Oh and the 4th place (now 2nd) guy aced the first hole. I'll regroup and come back strong!"

Just kidding - please keep us posted Scott!

$5 to the first person posting a pic of Reichard in his Team Oregon shirt. You can get the PDGA I-phone App for that much!

[essjay]

Rick just said this:

"Not sure where my game was hiding but I found it again. My 6 stroke lead is now 15 =)"

Commence the Saulter-Styled Victory Lap from 2004. Shut that door hard, Rick!!

HOLY CRAP! :yay:

Can't wait to see what happens when he turns his game on. :shocked:

[Scott]

That would be a 1031 rated round.

http://www.pdga.com/tournament_results/16465

[Flash]

The guys in second place is rated 1004 but it looks like from his history that he plays only about 2-3 tournaments a year. He easily won the Tim Selinske United States Masters Championships by 18 strokes over a strong field though. Based on his rating vs Rick's, Rick should have to be making up about 5-6 strokes a round thus should be trailing by 25-30 strokes but instead he is leading him by 16 strokes. They have only scored close to the same score on two rounds, the other 3 rounds Rick took it to him.

They have only scored close to the same score on two rounds, the other 3 rounds Rick took it to him.That would be Heath Whitley. I'm calling him out as bagger supreme. A 1004-rated player playing as an amatuer?? He creamed the field in the US Masters and all his rounds there were over 1000 so I figured his rating was accurate. However it looks like he's inconsistent (or injured).

Regardless: Rick please kick him to the curb. He deserves it! ;)

[Sam]

Question: If HE is a bagger... what does that make the dude who is absolutely schooling him?!

Answer: Oregon's newest Pro Master player. We'll miss you, Rick. :)

[smobro]

The most incredible part is that only 4 players in the field of over 400 are shooting better then he is. He was tied for the entire field lead yesterday. Old people rock!!!!!!

[Reichard]

You guys crack me up =)

Yeah, if I can pull this out I'll prolly be done with Adv whether I like it or not. I am signed up for the NA at Pier all ready so you're stuck with that.

Take it easy on Heath, he is a solid player but he's also one of the nicest guys I've met out here.

The ratings are messed up at the moment due to the pool shuffling and different courses played. The only round that is (unofficially) correct is the 1031 5th. The others will all go back up with the final results after the tourny. I'm averaging a little over 1000 rated golf so far. I have no idea how, but it's like the tree kick that goes right to the basket. You just smile and go with it.

Still 2 rounds left. . .

$5 for a pic of you in your Team Oregon shirt...$10 for a pic of you hoisting the trophy in it!

Bring it home Rick! :yay::yay::yay:

Not sure how accurate this is... unless all pools play the same courses the same number of times exactly. I think some pools play different double-days but I am merely speculating on how it is done. I plan on finding out how it is done next year in Charlotte.

That was moments ago. Very cool. Driving from a knee, though? WTF?!

Holy Crap! The guy in 2nd took a triple bogey on 18, and the other two guys on the card double bogeyed! Rick parred!

17 stroke lead going into semi-finals!!!!!

[Sam]

Turn out the lights... the party's over!!
Fat lady has sung.
Fridge is closed. Light is off. Butter is getting hard.
That's all she wrote, folks!

Phenomenal performance through 6 rounds, Rick. You have earned this with your stellar play and will be the 2011 Am Masters World Champion. Way to F'in go! :cheers:

I think they have an 18 hole round for the semi-finals, and then the final 9.

I think the lead is safe.

I forgot about that...but yes, I agree...RICK REICHARD, WORLD CHAMP!!! I SAID IT!!!!

[Reichard]

10 foot ceiling and big headwind took away the forehand roller I had practiced. Just keeping it low as I can hit 300 from my knees =) It was boring safe golf. Going for broke next round tho!

MA1 played Parma twice, Basil Marella once.
MM1 played Basil Marella twice, Parma once.

Gave back 13 strokes over 27 holes, maybe you should have tried boring, safe golf! :)

Congratulations World Champion Rick Reichard!

[smobro]

We are not worthy.

Thanks Whip!

TEAM OREGON!

[Reichard]

Thanks Dion, Eric, and Ashley for coming out to support me during the final 9 and to everyone thats posted words of encouragement both here and on facebook. I really appreciate it. It was the little bit of "home" that I needed to help get me through the week.

-Rick

Edit: Do I really take that long to putt? That would drive me crazy to have to play a round with me =)

Great job, Rick! You made us all very proud! Go Northwest!

Oh, and yes, you do (take that long to putt). And yes, it does (drive us all crazy). :laughing: :jumpspin:

At least he makes them. I go bonkers when there's a ton of time taken and then the player air balls or putts to the bottom of the pole.
