2nd Round 63 Leads to Tie for 3rd

This week on the Gateway Tour was somewhat of a home game for me. I worked this past off season at Troon North Golf Club so I was definitely comfortable with the course. I got off to a solid start in the 1st round with a 4 under 68. The 2nd round was the best round of the year so far with a 9 under 63. I wasn't overly comfortable with my swing but I kept it in play all day and made a ton of putts. For the first time in over a year I went into the final round with the lead. I played really well in the final round but just couldn't make enough birdies to keep up with the eventual winner. I was really pleased with the way I played down the stretch, I hit the ball great and didn't shy away from taking a run at putts. The tie for 3rd was good enough for a $3,900.00 payday. Hopefully we can get back into this position soon and walk away with the trophy. I am back on the Gateway Tour next week at Greyhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale.

T13 in Gunter Adams Tour Event

It was a crazy week on the Adams Tour in Gunter, Texas. I had some ups and downs and a stretch of golf I've never experienced before. I shot 8 under for the tournament to finish in a tie for 13th earning $1,930. I played really solid golf the 1st round shooting a 3 under 69. I struggled the 2nd round and fought out a 1 over 73. The 3rd round was a ton of fun. I had a 6 hole stretch that included 3 eagles, all on par 5's, to shoot 7 under 65. I've never had a round with multiple eagles, let alone 3 of them. The final round felt like I had used all my good shots in the 3rd round. I never got comfortable and struggled with a 1 over 73. I definitely have to say the week was a success. I feel like I have made some positive strides the last few weeks. I have a nice break for the next several weeks to get recharged and continue to work on my game. I hope everyone has a great 4th of July and I look forward to seeing everybody back in Maryville. Thanks again for checking in.
