Bryant vs Webby G3 by Jarrod Coutts
Bryant B an K
Felix R an Y
B to EB
Y S of c2
K down the line, hit's blue off the SB and rolls them up to level with 5 leaving a rush to h5
R hits the gap and finishes 1ft W of c4

Bryant either didn't approach 1 of aborted, Felix missed a 15 yarder and Bryant has made 1 with a ball in lawn between 3 and 4 and oppo in c2. Too much power in the croquet stroke and has a rush pointing slightly S of the peg
21 Jan 2016 2:14PM (Tournament); 8 Readers
Bryant was approaching 2 from c2. Send Felix to h1 during the approach, fell short, so lagged at partner near c3.
Webby hit's with his h1 ball, but poor croquet stroke gives him a bad rush to h1 which he sends off the SB by 5 yards. Approaches h1 into the jaws of 1??
21 Jan 2016 2:22PM (Tournament); 9 Readers
Calls an umpire but looks trivial. Through to reception ball near the peg. Should be a ball to 4b
21 Jan 2016 2:23PM (Tournament); 10 Readers
Approaching h3 and relatively in control
21 Jan 2016 2:28PM (Tournament); 13 Readers
Webby approaching 1b. This has been one of the better turns that I've seen him play
21 Jan 2016 2:35PM (Tournament); 13 Readers
Webby fails 3b after a croquet stroke gave him a tough approach. Bryant hits with his h3 ball and croquets Webbys h1 ball to 1.. looks like some popping action coming up
21 Jan 2016 2:41PM (Tournament); 14 Readers
First of all he has to play a good rush to h3 as his h4 pioneer looks like it could be in the way? Good shot and will be approaching h3 from2.5y E of h3
21 Jan 2016 2:42PM (Tournament); 14 Readers
Greg looks as if he has gone into beast mode. A lot more focus in this game than what I've seen the rest of the event. Will have to play a good croquet stroke to get this pop at 1 but still going for it
21 Jan 2016 2:46PM (Tournament); 15 Readers
Doesn't rush to a position where he can attempt it so aborts.
21 Jan 2016 2:51PM (Tournament); 16 Readers
Bryant has made 2b and looks like it will be a spread
21 Jan 2016 2:59PM (Tournament); 15 Readers
Reasonable spread - I think he wanted Webbys h1 ball tighter to the WB but it is a max distance spread.
We are now Bryant 4b and 1 vs Webby 3b and 1
21 Jan 2016 3:04PM (Tournament); 10 Readers
Webby lifts the h1 ball and is shooting down the line
21 Jan 2016 3:05PM (Tournament); 11 Readers
Webby hits the inlawn ball.. is that the one he was aiming for? Good 2.5y rush to h1 gives him a 2y northwards approach
21 Jan 2016 3:08PM (Tournament); 13 Readers
Is underway.. very big turn. Keep in controlled and just get to the peg with a spread is what I'm hoping is in his mind.
21 Jan 2016 3:10PM (Tournament); 12 Readers
Approaching h6 and losing a bit of control.. poor 1b pioneer and a few roquets and hoops longer than what he can do during the turn. It's still going though which is the crucial thing
21 Jan 2016 3:18PM (Tournament); 12 Readers
Recovers well, now approaching 2b
21 Jan 2016 3:20PM (Tournament); 12 Readers
One of the best things about being home is the ammount of Lolly Cake i've already consumed and cheese and bacon shapes! Get that in ya
21 Jan 2016 3:21PM (Tournament); 12 Readers
Approaching 3b.. 4b pioneer 7y short
21 Jan 2016 3:24PM (Tournament); 15 Readers
Very hampered after running 4b so won't be hitting partner and I don't think he can hit the pioneer at penault
21 Jan 2016 3:28PM (Tournament); 15 Readers
misses penault pioneer by a foot
21 Jan 2016 3:28PM (Tournament); 15 Readers
penault and 3b plays 1 and 4b
21 Jan 2016 3:30PM (Tournament); 15 Readers
Greg hits the 5y lift pondering what to do
21 Jan 2016 3:31PM (Tournament); 15 Readers
Good h1 and now has the break
21 Jan 2016 3:36PM (Tournament); 15 Readers
Loading 4b peele from 4y N of h6 going to h3 pioneer 2y sw of h3
21 Jan 2016 3:40PM (Tournament); 14 Readers
Doesn't get it into position and after h3 peele finishes up near c3 so aborts and will be a break to the peg or will it be a DPO?
21 Jan 2016 3:45PM (Tournament); 14 Readers
Bryant approaching 1b and has looked a bit scrappy for his standards
21 Jan 2016 3:52PM (Tournament); 15 Readers
Bryant fails 3b. Webby has a 4 yarder with his 3b ball and 2 balls at 3b
21 Jan 2016 4:01PM (Tournament); 11 Readers
Makes 3b and 4b and should reach the peg
21 Jan 2016 4:06PM (Tournament); 12 Readers
Clips penault after making it going to a ball on EB and leaves him an 8 yarder.. hits! I've seen him hit 30+ of these during the event. A very promising prospect for NZ GC
21 Jan 2016 4:09PM (Tournament); 12 Readers
Now has another 7 yarder at his rover pioneer which he misses
21 Jan 2016 4:09PM (Tournament); 12 Readers
Bryant now has a 3 yarder with his 3b ball with two balls near boundaries at 3b
21 Jan 2016 4:10PM (Tournament); 13 Readers
About to run 3b with all 4 balls around 3b
21 Jan 2016 4:15PM (Tournament); 13 Readers
Sails past all the traffic and has a 6y return
21 Jan 2016 4:15PM (Tournament); 13 Readers
No Martins (contact Jack Wicks if you don't know what that means)
21 Jan 2016 4:16PM (Tournament); 14 Readers
Good rush to 4b - approaching from 1ys
21 Jan 2016 4:20PM (Tournament); 14 Readers
Sending partner to rover to tighten up the break - that and 3b look like the toughest hoops on these lawns
21 Jan 2016 4:21PM (Tournament); 14 Readers
Bryant approaching Rover - I'll update with the leave
21 Jan 2016 4:27PM (Tournament); 14 Readers
Bryany peg and 4b vs penault and rover. Leave is; Bryant tight in c4 rover ball 1y off WB just S of the peg and Penault ball maybe 2y of EB 1y N of peg.

21 Jan 2016 4:37PM (Tournament); 16 Readers
Can Bryant close out the match? Not many punters would have been expecting it to be this close. I can tell you that much for free
21 Jan 2016 4:37PM (Tournament); 16 Readers
Good rush to 4b but will still need to rush to Penault from a distance
21 Jan 2016 4:41PM (Tournament); 16 Readers
Loads rover but gets a rush on the inlawn ball pointing at c1 - he wants it to be pointing at the WB peg high so he can use Y from his leave
21 Jan 2016 4:43PM (Tournament); 16 Readers
Over cuts it to 1y W of the peg. This one might not be over yet.
21 Jan 2016 4:44PM (Tournament); 15 Readers
Bryant took a long time making the decision. Changes his mind and taking off to the hoop now
21 Jan 2016 4:48PM (Tournament); 15 Readers

Poor rush to rover approaching from 7y NW. Gives himself a 3y 40 degree rover
21 Jan 2016 5:03PM (Tournament); 13 Readers
Smashes off the SB instead of taking on the hoop. Sensible decision but gives Bryant a last chance..
