SIMON LIZOTTE | Seeding/Qualifier Interview
Simon Lizotte sits down to discuss his experience at Eagles Crossing, where he competed in a seeding/qualifier event for a major tournament. The Australian pro shares that despite feeling unprepared after a short practice session and navigating an unfamiliar course layout, he enjoyed the progressive scoring format, which he found reduced pressure and allowed him to focus on playing his best. Lizotte praises the new format, saying it "feels so good" with no negative points, only points or zero. He also mentions that the format may suit his game style well. With one more round of competition ahead, Lizotte expresses confidence in improving after a warm-up session and notes that the windy conditions could lead to scoring opportunities.
