Its nice to type rounds 2 AND 3 since this is the first made cut of the season after what I would consider an unispiring start. Round 2 was very windy and I couldn't get a put to fall. I actually hit 14/18 greens which is fairly solid. I made 3 poor bogies on 7,8, and 10. 1 birdie on the 3rd hole and I finished with 73. Backed up to -2 but made the cut safely by 2. I was t18 to start today and knew that I had to do something special to make up some ground. I couldn't catch the leaders but a solid round under par could at least move me up the leaderboard into a position to cash a check for more than my entry. Well I don't know where I finished but I ended the tournament with a very solid 66. I was bogey free on the front 9 with 5 pars and 4 birdies for a 32 which was exactly how I wanted to start. Near makes on 2 and 6 could have made it very special. I played solidly on the back 9 and struck again on the converted par 4 14th. Playing 465 into a solid wind I hit a great drive and a solid 6 iron from 184 to 7 feet. I made that but unfortunately 3 putted 15 to give it right back. I curled in a snake on 16 to get back to -5 and there I sat. Par par finish and a -7 total for the event. I'm very happy with the progress I've made in the last week and hopefully more great golf to come. I've got some time off this week and to Hillcrest I go next week for one of the biggest events of the year. Stay tuned,
Drew
