A 52 at First Felling. While the field averaged 55.4, Zach Pasteris treated the Fort Tuthill pines like his own private lumber yard. The Round Rating of 953 suggests he didn't just chop wood; he carved it. His companion, the Ring Calendar, is already taking notes—probably scribbling 'wide, fast growth ring' in the margin. Six spots gained from assignment 8? That’s not an exchange; that’s a clearcut. The season’s first chapter is logged, and Zach just walked out with the best timber.

Fifty-two throws at the First Felling. Zach Pasteris didn't just show up; he clocked in three strokes clear of the field average. While everyone else was wrestling the ponderosa wind, Zach played like he’d already read Ring Calendar’s almanac. The tag says 'Green Sapling,' but this round was pure cured pine—steady, clean, and ready for the long haul. Welcome to the MA1 storyline, Zach. The wood remembers.
