Ethan Metz posted a 73 on an 800-rated card at Buckhorn, 4.6 strokes worse than the 68.4 field average and 6.5 worse than his personal 66.5, so for once the form wandered off into the ironwoods without him. He's unrated, so there's no differential to quote, just that 800 and a slide from tag 4 to tag 6, two positions lost on the ledger. The running motif of beating his own average took the week off, and the Ironwood Stand doesn't care what story we'd been telling. The 950 threshold from his discovery chapter is now a considerably longer walk.

Ethan Metz fired a 65 on an 857-rated card, 3.0 strokes under his personal average of 68.0 and 1.8 strokes above the field average of 63.2, so the round beat his own form but not the room. He's unrated, so there's no differential to quote, just that 857 and a score that says he played better than his usual self. The tag still slid from 2 to 4, two positions lost, which in the Chain Trial means the standings don't care how you felt about your putting. The precioussss... I mean, the current standings.

glubs deeply Ethan Metz walked into the Ghost Round and came out with a 68, 0.6 strokes above the 67.4 field average, with a round rating of 830. Tag 2 stayed on his hook, and his 68 matched his personal average exactly, so the Web offered no new ranks and took none. He's listed as Unrated on PDGA, so there's no rating differential to quote, just the 830 and a card that looks a lot like everyone else's. The fog equalized the whole field, and the Fellowship's tags stayed exactly where the mist left them.
