Score: 80
Different day....same result. The only difference is this time I had 38 putts which was even worse than yesterday. Most of my stats from tee to green, however, were pretty similar. I hit 9/14 fairways and 12/18 greens. I don't think I was more than few yards off the fairway when I did miss so that's a good feeling going forward. I'm very happy with how I'm driving the ball since that has plagued me under pressure in the past. I'd say I probably hit about 3 poor shots in all today which is still not too bad. After missing so many putts, I'd say the lack of momentum for two straight days played a part in a couple of those loose swings.
I only made one poor decision today and it came on the 2nd hole where I tried to hit a hard wedge into the green and ended up spinning it off the front. Luckily, it didn't cost me a stroke as I found my one up-and-down of the day. One wouldn't be bad if that was the only opportunity I had, except today I had 9 chances and so 1 for 9 is quite pathetic. This was mostly due to the poor putting because I hit a lot of good chip shots.
Overall, I'm very pleased with how my swing held up in this event. I'm incredibly disappointed in how my putting did not hold up in this event. I could sit here and speculate on a whole bunch of different reasons why that was the case, but the bottom line is it was just terrible....plain and simple. I'm going to do everything I can to forget about it and move on because the next tournament starts in two days and there's just no time to dwell on it. I've got my putter here next to me in the hotel room and I'll try and do what I can to get the feel back.
I'm supposed to be playing a practice round tomorrow for the next event, but the forecast is for rain all morning with plummeting temperatures to follow and a chance of sleet. Sounds like perfect golf weather to me. I'll have a post up tomorrow about what (if anything) I am able to accomplish.
