T6 in Gateway at Anthem

I finally had a week that was solid from start to finish. I've been close this year and I knew a good week was coming soon. I started the week with a 5 under 67 that was bogey free and included an eagle and 3 birdies all on the par 5's. The 2nd round was my best of the week with a 6 under 66 that included 8 birdies and 2 bogeys. The final round was solid, 2 under 70, but I was a few missed putts from getting into contention late in the round. I am very happy with shooting 13 under for 3 rounds and finishing in the top ten, earning $2,400. For the first time all year I felt like every part of my game was sharp. I am looking forward to playing on the Adams Tour next week in Gunter, Texas. To follow the scores from Texas click on the Adams Tour logo on the right. Thanks for checking in

Up and Down Play in Louisiana

It was an interesting two weeks on the Adams Tour in Louisiana. I got off to a great start in Baton Rouge with rounds of 69 - 66. Unfortunately I lost momentum and struggled on the weekend with two rounds of even par 72. I finished in a tie for 38th. Next we were off to Alexandria where I got off to a terrible start with a 4 over par 76. The second round was a lot of fun with a 5 under 67 that included 9 birdies. Unfortunately I missed the cut by a shot and wasn't able to continue moving up the leaderboard. I left Louisiana with a bit of confidence and looking forward to teeing it up this week on the Gateway Tour in Phoenix. The tournament starts on Wednesday at Anthem Golf and Country Club.

Made Cut in 1st Gateway Desert Event

It was back to business in the desert for the first time in 2009. The tournament at Talking Stick got off a good start with a 4 under par 66. For the first time all year I putted great. The second round was solid, even par 70, but I couldn't get the same momentum I had during the first round. After making the cut on the number the final round got off to a slow start and ended poorly with a 3 over 73. I finished in 21st place earning $1,350. I was pleased with my position after the first round but dissappointed to go backwards the last two rounds. I played solid golf for the most part but wasn't able to get the putter going the last two rounds. Hopefully I can build on this week and take some momentum with me to the Adams Tour. I leave Sunday to travel to Dallas and then drive to Baton Rouge on Monday. I am looking forward to getting back out to the Adams Tour and playing a few events in Louisiana.
