Cirbie and Tina faced off in episode 3’s elimination challenge which consisted of four stations around the green. Cirbie had at least one chance to put Tina away but couldn’t capitalize on it. Their second position was just an uphill chip to the flag and Tina chunked it way short. Cirbie, however, skulled another one and blew it way by.
The two ended up tied after four positions and went back to replay the fourth position, 30-40 yard shot around a palm tree and over a bunker with another bunker guarding against long shots. Tina hit a decent shot but still had a good 20-25 feet to the hole. Cirbie either chunked it or got cute with it and left it in the front bunker. You knew it was over at that point.
I guess Cirbie should’ve read my tip on not getting cute when short-sided. She’s probably kicking herself for trying to pull it off. If they tied again, I’m sure they would’ve played the same shot and Tina was definitely cracking under pressure.
It sure is nice to watch this show on the DVR. I can watch the whole show in about 43 minutes. Can’t wait to see what’s going to happen next week on The Big Break Ka’anapali.
