Yet another timely choke down the stretch to finish off today's round. I really hope this doesn't become a trend. I bogeyed 4 out of my last 5 holes to miss the cut by a couple shots. All I can say is that I couldn't handle the nerves. As I got into my last nine holes, every swing and every putt was very timid. I missed just about every fairway on the back and a bunch of easy putts I should have made.
This is a really tough one to swallow. I thought for sure I was going to make the cut this week and finish this winter series on a high note. Instead, this has turned out to be the most disappointing outcome so far. I was swinging the club well, playing a course that I felt really comfortable on and I was making putts. But, for whatever reason it just wasn't meant to be. That's all I can come up with. I'm usually pretty good at handling pressure and fighting off the nerves but not this time. The only good thing I can come up with at this point is that at least I'm finding myself in situations where I'm actually competing for tournaments more often now. Hopefully, I'll begin to get more and more comfortable being in those situations and continue to move up the leaderboard instead of the opposite.
So this chapter of my professional career has come to an end. Definitely not the way I wanted to finish, but at least I had a chance these last three tournaments. There's one thing that can not be substituted in this business and that's experience. And because of that, I'm very thankful for having this opportunity to play in all these tournaments here in Central Florida. It's been a great experience and I know everything that I've been through so far can only help me in the future. It's all apart of the process I guess.
Coming Up: On Friday, Erika and I are flying to Arkansas for a wedding and then coming back to Orlando on Sunday. Monday, we'll be hitting the road back to New Orleans. I'm anxious to get home and catch up with everyone. Hope all is well!
