Default Lindgren\'s $340k Golf Prop Bet Today

We got a call from Gavin Smith last night saying that Erick Lindgren accepted a $100,000 prop bet with the following rules:

:: He had to play four rounds of golf at Bear's Best in one day.

:: He had to walk all four rounds back-to-back-to-back-to-back.

:: He'd be shooting from the pro tees.

:: He had to shoot under 100 on all rounds.

Within 15 minutes, Phil Ivey added another $200k to the bet, and with a few others jumping in since, the total is now close to $350k.

More on it at WCP

As of about an hour or so ago Lindgren had completed the first round successfully.

Yeh he's carrying his own clubs. Usually shoots high 80s...but Bear's Best is tough course.

Ivey just showed up.

Interesting - I have not played Bear's Best in Vegas.

Does anyone know how the course is layed out? i.e. Is it a reasonable course to walk, or are there large distances between holes and drastic elevation changes?

If this is the case, I'd imagine that he will fail. That last round is going to be gross.

Can you explain this to somebody who's been at all involved in golf? I take it'll be tough since he'll just be exhausted by the end.. or what?
