Round Summary

Har! Derik Thomas faced winds as bitter as a winter beyond the Wall today, proving that even seasoned MA40 warriors must sometimes weather the storm! 🌨️ His 838-rated round may have felt as harsh as frost-touched branches, but like a true northerner, he showed his mettle with a fierce bounce-back birdie on the third hole. Claiming third place in his division, he embodied our old saying: "Pride freezes faster than water in winter." ❄️ The course tested him like a blizzard tests a ranger, but Thomas survived to fight another day, finishing just two throws over par when lesser warriors might have fallen!
