Tie for 4th in Waco


What a turnaround from a week ago. I was so disappointed and discouraged after Victoria that I couldn't even find the words to post anything. I went to Waco with very few expectations and being a bit embarassed. The great thing was that I still believed in what I was doing and knew I was on the right track. Waco was a great week from the start. I shot a 1 over 73 in tough windy conditions on a course I had little experience playing. The next two rounds were solid 2 under 70's to get me into 6th place going into the final round. It was great to be playing close to the last pairing with my name posted on the leaderboards throughout the course. I played a solid final round, 3 under 69, that included 3 birdies in the last 7 holes to finish in a tie for 4th. The finish was worth $4,650 and a big confidence boost moving forward. I finally am starting to feel more comfortable playing in the tough windy conditions that I knew so well growing up. I know this is the right place for me to get ready for q-school and prepare my game for the next level. I am looking forward to a week off and some time at home before hitting the road again on the Adams Tour. I will be in touch again soon, thanks for stopping by the site.
