I started the day off at +4 knowing I had to get back to even to maybe cash a check. I teed off at 2:20 in 90 degree heat but knew if I could start off well I am mentally tough enough to grind out a good round. I started off on 10 and after a good drive i lasered a 9 iron right over the pin. A near chip in and a tap in par. Holes 11,12,13,14 I hit the edge on putts ranging from 6 feet to 25 feet. I had a solid 2 putt on 15. On 16, I had 248 into the green and ripped my 2 hybrid and gave myself 40 feet for eagle. Go figure, I lipped out and tapped in for birdie. Parred 17/18 and turned at -1. Birdie on 2 to get to -2 but made a huge mistake on 3. Had 170 in and tugged it into the water. First bogey of the day. Had a great opportunity on 4/5 but didn't convert. 2 putted 6 for birdie and closed par par bogey. The 2 bogeys I made were horrible and the amount of birdies that didn't fall could have made a large difference. All said and done I took a lot from the tournament. I feel good and I'm ready to compete. Off to vermillion in a few days and although its going to be a scorcher I'm optimistic for the weekend.
Go Low!!
