Final Round 65 to Finish T-3rd

For the second straight week I was able to shoot one of the lower final rounds and move up the leaderboard. After shooting a 6 under 30 on the front nine I stumbled a little on the back and wasn't able to maintain the same pace. A 7 under 65 was still a great way to finish off the tournament at 21 under. The tie for 3rd was good enough for a $6,648.00 check that moves us up to #6 on the Gateway Tour Desert Summer money list. I am very pleased with the results these last 5 events with 4 top 5 finishes and a 68.92 scoring average for the summer. I am looking forward to a week off this coming week and a chance to recharge my batteries and get some quality work in on my game. I am happy with the top 5 finishes but really want to get that first professional victory this year. I am getting closer each week and every time I can play the back nine the final day with the nerves of being in contention the better off I will be in the future. I can't wait for the final 4 events on the schedule and then the Tour Championship in Des Moines in early October. It feels great to go home after a tournament and be disappointed I didn't come away with the victory, that day can't be too far off.

Thanks for checking in, I will be in touch again in 2 weeks after the next tournament.
