A 72 - 76 were not good enough to finish in the top four qualifying positions for the 2007 United States Open. I got off to a great start at 3 under through the first 5 holes, unfortunately I was not able to maintain that pace and went in the opposite direction. I hit the ball well for the 36 hole one day marathon but was not able to get hot with the putter and give myself a chance down the stretch. I was very disappointed with the score but pleased with the confidence I had with my swing. It has been a long time since I was that confident with a club in my hands. Now it is just a matter of getting the ball in the hole and getting my confidence with the putter to match that of my swing. I started the first summer event of the Gateway Tour today at Talking Stick Golf Club with a very similar 2 over par 72, a good ball striking day and poor scoring. I will need a good number tomorrow to get back within shouting distance of the leaders. Professional golf is a funny game where sometimes all you need is that one small opening to propel yourself to the next level. That break and chance have got to be just around the corner.Thanks again for checking in, I will be in touch again soon.

Hi Matt, Hope you are doing great. I like your website. I got the address from your father today at Mozingo. I believe he is retired now and "living the dream"....that is working at a golf course part time. I cant wait for my chance to do that. My wife and I have really fallen in love with the game. PB today, 72. I am planning on being in Phoenix June 21, 22, 23rd. Any chance you will be around. I would imagine you will be in a tourny. let me know.
