Today's round was sort of a continuation of how last week went. I hit the ball well, used good course management but I just couldn't make a putt. In these one day qualifiers where you're competing against 150 guys for 7 spots, it takes a really low score to get in. And the only way to shoot low scores is to make putts. I don't care how close you can hit the ball to the hole, it doesn't matter unless you make the putt. I'm not saying that I was right next to the hole every time, but I definitely had my chances and not once was I able to convert. I'd say that I probably had 5 birdie putts and 2 eagle putts inside of 15 feet and didn't make a single one. I feel like I was hitting good putts but unable to read them correctly. For me, I'm still at that point where I'll make one or two bad swings during a round which end up leading to bogies, but I certainly give myself plenty of opportunities to offset those mistakes and haven't been able to take advantage of them yet.
So, no luck this time, but I have many more qualifiers scheduled throughout the year. In fact, Wednesday we'll be in Houston for the Shell Houston Open pre-qualifier where there will be about 100 people for 40 or so spots. A little better odds than today. Tomorrow, we're driving to Lake Charles to play a practice round for this weeks Adam's Tour event which starts Thursday. Then, Wednesday we'll be in Houston for the one day qualifier and then back to Lake Charles for the start of the tournament there.
