I had a little bit of a rough start. A couple bogeys on the front nine.
I actually chip in par save on the second, which was nice.
I just fell out of tempo a little bit and then got it together for the back nine.
It was really solid. I had some good par saves.
Golf is just crazy. It's been making me realize it more and more.
It only takes one round for your whole mindset and your whole game to change.
I had a really rough couple of months.
Not even just missing cuts, but just not playing good golf or rounds.
Thursday, I was just really happy to shoot under par.
It just really set me up for the week.
I just try to, I think with every round, to just focus on the present
and not get too ahead of myself and just try to enjoy it as much as I can.
I think everything was just really solid. I hit the ball pretty good.
I made putts when it mattered.
It's just good to come down the stretch.
It was playing pretty tough to have a few really good par saves at the end.
The court is the same as always.
But the wind is really strong today.
It's been blowing all day.
It's going to be hard to play in the rings.
Today's performance is not bad at all.
It's good. It's similar to yesterday.
But there were just a few small mistakes.
The ball was still too small.
It's not that I didn't hit it well.
But I didn't calculate it well.
It went in the right direction, but it was too far apart.
When it's too far apart, it's not that close.
So it was pretty hard to make putts.
