Jacko Todd fired a 39 to kick off the Pressure Release, tuning up the Gearwork Glen with a 982-rated performance. That’s nearly four strokes better than the Amateur H field average, good for a three-spot jump to first place. He’s carrying the mechanical heat now—literally. The Clockwork Sun medallion warms the pocket now, but by midweek? It sears. First seed dies or dominates; Jacko chose the latter for episode one.

First seed dies or dominates
In the early days of the Steam-Putterer's Guild, the master engineers constructed a massive orrery-like apparatus at the desert's highest dune - a working model of a mechanical sun that would mark time for all expeditions. When the guild fractured into competing leagues, the Clockwork Sun became the shared reference point for determining championship timing, its gears synchronized to the meridian of the Brass-Sanded Apex.
The Clockwork Sun bag tag takes the form of a pocket watch-shaped medallion with a miniature mechanical sun as its face. Visible through glass panels, tiny brass gears turn perpetually without winding, casting moving shadows across the watch face. The bronze body features riveted seams and is warm to the touch, fluctuating with the time of day - cooler in the morning, searing at midday.
The Clockwork Sun serves as the definitive marker of the season's apex, its position triggering the legendary 'Last Stand' championship events. The holder of the Clockwork Sun bag tag carries the burden and honor of being the first seeded competitor in the final championship, defending their position against all challengers who seek to claim the brass.
Season Story
narrated by FlippyThe Clockwork Sun is detouring to the Wednesday Johnny Flipt League, a Flex Start side quest that apparently requires better time management than the Brass-Sanded Apex. Jacko Todd’s carrying the heat now—literally, that medallion is searing by noon. Let’s hope his internal gears sync up before the first bogey.
