First Top 10 of 2007 in Gateway Event

After sharing the first round lead this week I was able to fight back to a tie for 7th and the first top 10 finish of the year. I played very well this week and was just one solid round short of a top 3 and even a chance to win. I have continued with the momentum I picked up last week after the second round 63. I hit the ball great all week with only a few loose swings in the second round and early in the final round. I was able to put together a solid 2 under back nine to finish the tournament moving up a few spots. I was putting this week with a SeeMore putter for the first time. I was really happy with the way I putted outside of trying to force too many putts in the second round. This is the same putting system that Zach Johnson used to win the Masters. I am excited about the direction that everything is going right now. After a tough start to the year with the USPGT going under I am just happy to have a consistent place to play. I am going to play again next week on the Gateway Tour at Hillcrest Golf Club. This will be the last event I play before US Open Qualifying at Kansas City Country Club on May 21st. I have also secured my schedule for the summer to play full time on the Gateway Tour in all 12 events and then the Tour Championship in Des Moines, Iowa the first week of October. I am excited about the improvements to both my mental and physical game. I am close to being ready to win. I just need to keep putting myself at the top of the leader board as much as possible. Next week is as good a time as any to pick up my first professional win.
Thanks for checking in, I will keep you updated as the tournament goes on next week
