The two week trip to Texas on the Adams Tour didn't get off to the start I was looking for. I struggled on the bermuda greens at Beaumont Country Club and just couldn't find my rhythm with the putter. I hit the ball as well as I have all year but couldn't convert it into a successful week after rounds of 70 and 74. I want to thank the Iceton family in Beaumont for hosting me and Todd Rossetti for the week, by far the best host family of the year. After a couple days of short game work in Beaumont I felt good about my game going into Horseshoe Bay. I played very solid all week in Horseshoe Bay on the extremely difficult Ram Rock Course. The cut fell at 5 over par, the highest cut in my professional career. The first three rounds were all very solid and I entered the final round 4 shots back at even par, 70-71-72. In the final round I never could get a birdie putt to drop and ended with a 4 over 75. I finished in a tie for 18th earning $1,635. I look forward to the next few weeks on the Gateway Tour in Arizona where I have had some decent success this summer. Hopefully I have worked out the kinks with the putter and will find some confidence on the familiar Arizona greens. Thanks for checking in and I will post back soon.Matt
