Gateway Summer Series ends with T42

A disappointing finish to an otherwise great summer. I never got comfortable this week and my play was pretty uninspired. I have had my fill of desert golf for the summer and am looking forward to playing in some different conditions at the Tour Championship and Q-School. Desert golf courses all seem to play the same way and it is easy to get bored and lose focus week after week. I am very excited about the huge strides I have made in my game this year as compared to last. I am definitely a better player and feel like this is the year to move on to the next level. I will be playing my first stage of Q-School at the same site as last year in Lantana, Texas. It will be nice to get to a Q-School course knowing exactly what is ahead of me and what to expect. The Tour Championship in Des Moines at the Legacy Golf Club will be a great warm up to first stage. We will be playing for the largest purse of the year with 79 players in a four round tournament. I am excited to get to play a full tournament back in the midwest and not too far from home. I will be spending a day next week in Dallas working on my short game with Pat O'Brien, the putting instructor to this year's Masters Champion, Zach Johnson. I really think Pat will be able to help me get my short game back to being the strength of my game. A great putter will always have a place to play on the PGA Tour. Thanks for checking in and following my play this summer. It is always a great feeling to know that I've got the best support group behind me every time I tee it up. I will be in touch again soon
