US Open qualifying

So today didn't go as swimingly as planned. I ended the day with a 39-40 for 79 at Hazeltine National. Overall I would give my play a C on the day and a B for effort. I tried as hard as I could but I gave it a B because I wasn't committed to every single shot out there which led to a few costly mistakes. I hit a lot of great putts that didn't go in. My iron game hurt me the most simply becuase I didn't commit to a few shots. 79 sounds pretty bad, but after the morning wave I was actually tied for 8th or 9th. The rough was grown up to about 4 inches all over the course, the greens were a little slick, and the pins were cut in very intricate spots. I was very upset with my score, but it was without a doubt the hardest golf course I've teed it up on. Overall I didn't create the opportunities I needed and could have done 4 or 5 better. 74 was low after 80 or so guys. With the states top amateurs and a bunch of mini tour players scoring that high is a small indication of how difficult the course was. BUT, no matter what, I needed to play better. I'm optimistic for my next event which will be the Tapemark Charity Classic if I get in. Can't wait!
