T26 at Gateway Tour Championship

A chilly and windy week in Des Moines was the perfect welcome back to Midwest style golf. The Legacy Golf Club in Norwalk, Iowa was a difficult test with high rough and slick greens that borderline on crazy. I struggled the first two and a half rounds with my swing but was able to find a little confidence the last part of the tournament. I was able to find a good swing thought in the 3rd round and then work out the kinks on the range with my instructors Kevin Beard and Ben Kreger (who caddied for me this week). The final round was one of the best rounds I've played all year but a handful of putts just burned the edge to keep it from being a great round. It was nice to find some confidence during the last part of the tournament with Q-School just around the corner. I really enjoyed my time back in the Midwest and the chance to play a tournament with family and friends out supporting me. It was great to see all the familiar faces who came out to support and follow me during the tournament: Rick, Kyle, Kevin, Kathy, Mike, Drew, Jay, Marc, Don, Robbie, Zach, my Grandpa and my Parents. I really appreciate all the support and want to thank everyone for following my progress this year, it really does make a difference having a great support group. It has been a good year so far and I have the chance through Q-School to make it a great year. I will be posting again next week as I prepare for 1st stage in Lantana, Texas at Lantana Golf Club. Check back for updates and results
