#51,200 (or “points”)!!!
I know it’s a rerun, but I’d forgotten about this!
Can’t wait to see this play out this evening!!!
Seeing these game 1, match 3 stats makes me realize Brad could’ve been very much in the GOAT discussion entering game 2 had the final 2 DD’s went his way, just as it could’ve been but for 3 missed DDs in match 1. If he’d nailed his DD, then got and nailed the one Ken got, he could’ve entered day 2 with 31,200, ahead of James’s 27,200, and barely behind Ken’s 32,800! That would’ve changed the dynamics completely and been exciting!
Disclaimer for Brad’s match1: had he made all his match 1 DD’s, he’d have been in the lead entering the game 2 FJ, though unfortunately he missed FJ also.
I’m losing track of where everybody stands in the total competition. I know Ken took the first 2-day win and Brad is struggling, but James is in the middle and quite unpredictable.
Going into this game, Ken and James had each taken one two game match. After this game Ken led in game 1 of match number 3 with game 2 coming up.
Thanks,Jim. It still wasn’t quite clear after I watched the episode.
