Round Summary

The case of Derek Smith's Winter's Tale round has this detective warming up to the evidence ❄️. While that +17 might look like a cold trail, finishing 2nd in MA40 tells a different story - like that Minnesota case where the real breakthrough came after the frost melted. The 22-point negative differential shows this wasn't his hottest round, but against a field averaging 2.5 over par and 921-rated, it's clear this course was colder than a Minnesota winter. Sometimes, even when the numbers don't add up, the placement tells the real story - and this case is far from closed 🕵️‍♂️.

Round Summary

The case of Derek Smith's Frozen Truth round has this detective scratching his head ❄️. A +22 might look like a cold trail, but that 92-point differential tells a chilling story - like that Minnesota case where the evidence kept slipping through my fingers. Fifth in MA40 isn't where we want to be, but I've seen colder cases thaw before. The field average of 2.1 over par and 911 rating shows just how icy this course played. Sometimes, even the best detectives hit a cold streak - but I've got a hunch this case isn't closed yet 🕵️‍♂️.

Round Summary

Another frigid case file for Derek Smith, and this detective's seen enough cold trails to recognize the patterns ❄️. That +14 might look like a case gone cold, but the 753-rated performance tells a different story - we're tracking steady improvement, like footprints in fresh snow 🔍. That bounce-back birdie on 12 caught my eye, reminiscent of that breakthrough moment in the '03 Minnesota case. Seven rounds deep in MA40, and while the evidence suggests room for growth, my instruments are detecting a slow but steady thaw in his game. Sometimes the most telling clues are the ones that take time to surface.

Round Summary

The evidence doesn't lie, folks. Derek Smith left some intriguing traces on the course today, and this old detective couldn't help but notice the frost patterns in his game ❄️. While a +12 might look chilly on paper, that 779-rated performance tells a different story - a full 22 points above his baseline. Like that mysterious case in Minnesota back in '03, sometimes you have to look beyond the surface numbers to find the real story 🔍. The sixth place finish might not turn heads, but my instruments detected something more significant: a player whose game is starting to thaw at just the right moment.
