Final Round Jump to Top 5 Finish

A 68 on the final day was good enough to move from a tie for 21st to a tie for 5th and a $3,421 check. On a day when scores were higher than usual it was great to be able to leap most of the field and collect my 3rd top 5 finish in the last 4 events. I continued to fight my swing today but was still able to find a way to make 5 birdies and only 1 bogey. I am very pleased that I am finally learning how to score and contend on days when I don't feel 100% comfortable or confident. Last year I didn't have the ability to gut out rounds in the 60's when I wasn't playing my best. I am looking forward to a few days of hard work this weekend to get my swing back to a level I feel comfortable with. I would really like to continue to build on this recent success and continue to improve in all parts of my game. I am nowhere near the level I need to be, but I am finally starting to get the results that show I am moving in the right direction. We are playing next week at Firerock Country Club and Tonto Verde Golf Club in a 4 day event starting on Monday. I will be back in touch after the completion of the next tournament.
Thanks again for checking in
