Also experienced this tonight, started the TGC May Invitational, played the first two rnds, stopped on the first tee of rnd 3 as I had to do other things for a couple of hours, when exited the tournament back to the menu's I saw that I had the option to resume the tournament on the main menu screen. I shutdown the game and came back 2-3 hrs later, restarted the game.
At this point the option to resume the tournament was not present on the main menu, I navigated through the menu to find the tournament again, opened it up, and attempted to resume, but the option was not there, I could only press "A" to advance and this had back on the first tee of the first rnd again?
PS: It would good if the menu's had a "Current Tour/Tournament Playing in" tab in the menu structure, having to find the tour/tournament you are playing in via asearch of the full list is annoying.
