Hey guys.  Yesterday I ended up shooting a (-1) 71 in a Players Tour event placing me in 5th place.  I managed to hit 11/14 fairways and 15/18 greens.  Brad and I have been discussing the importance of good putting in professional golf.  The more I compete the more this becomes evident.  I hit tons of great putts yesterday but was only rewarded with 2 birdies.  If a few more putts had gone in I would have been a contender once again.     

I plan on working twice as hard on my putting as I get ready for two Nationwide Tour Monday qualifiers in the upcoming weeks.  Thanks again to everyone for your support.

Tournament Update

My game has been getting progressively better as time goes by.  In the past six weeks I've had four top ten finishes in my four tournaments!  

Yesterday I was in a playoff on the Players Golf Tour at The Bridges Country Club.  In windy and rainy conditions I made birdies on holes 14, 17 and 18 to shoot a one under 71.  Unfortunately, I lost on the second playoff hole.  Losing the playoff was disappointing but now I feel even more motivated to work hard and get my first win.

I'll be sure to keep everyone updated!  

I have made changes to my upcoming schedule...
