1. Scott Hend:

   Conditions were quite tough and it was a little bit scrappy with some putts not quite getting to the hole but overall I'm very happy, it's awesome fun. Doesn't matter how hard it is. When you play links golf, it's just awesome. It's great.

   The best shot I hit, probably one of the best shots of my life, was the fourth out of the bunker, away from the hole, no one in the field would have got the first ball out of there, it was buried in the face of the bunker. The second one fell into a footprint and my footprint is deeper than most... and I hit a great shot to get it out.
