Today was an alright day. I felt great and hit the ball great off the tee which is a big reason why I was a little upset with my outcome. Again I had a rough time on the greens, I missed a good 5 putts inside 8 feet and even missed a 2 footer (it was a swinging putt to the right) but no matter. For some reason the greens here at Silverthorn were just as slow as Southern Hills the day prior. Just that speed had an effect on me where I wasn't making anything and wasn't able to create any momentum. I felt like I was when I turned to the front 9 and went birdie, par (missed a 10 footer), birdie, and then par (missed another 10 footer). Then I had another 10 footer for par and missed that, followed by the missed two footer. It's quite a game when you look back and think had any of those dropped I would be well under and and working back against my first round.
That's my project right now, I know there is plenty of golf left but I need to make some strides in climbing back into the field. In all honesty I'm not far out, if I can put together two solid round in the red I will have a card no problem. I feel great out on the course and am just waiting for these putts to fall. I'm not trying to do anything different on the course, just trying to play safe and make my pars... birdies when they are available. Tomorrow I play Southern Hills again and I feel confident that I will play well and hopefully ready to make aq run and show my name up in the hunt. A big help for me has been the help from a hometown friend Mac Boucher. He has offered to help me as a caddy here as he's visiting his grandparents in West Palm Beach. He's been doing a great job of keeping me focused and positive. We look forward to tomorrow I'm going deep, that course is in my back pocket! ... Mac says so.
