Joe, I think that Josh got his date wrong, dating his post as the 19th, when it is actually (today) the 18th and last day of the tournament. Also, it was probably posted very early this morning, and means that instead of a 9Am start, they may have gone off at 7 or earlier, because the wind usually picks up as the day grows later, and this tournament wants to tone down the wind effects, for whatever their own organization tournament directors reasons. Of course the wind is a big part of Wild Horse's test on a traditional basis. But, maybe the organizers felt the test of wind was already cooked into the tournament as it has played out on first days, and today want to lessen wind effects.
And, Josh may have done this superintendent's entry log early, because it has been a long week of course special preps, and he just may want to take it easy, bug out a little early and spend some family time and/or go fishing this weekend.
