    Hello.  I just got back to my room after playing 27 holes of golf today.  I opened the tournament with a one over par 73.  It wasn't a good round, but it at least kept me in the tournament.  The second round was filled with some ups and downs, but I steadied the ship on my back nine this morning as I finished my round and closed with a 69 to put me in 24th place heading into the last two rounds.  I teed off in my third round and kept the momentum going early.  I was 3 under par (5 under for the event) through my first 7 holes and got myself right back into contention in the tournament.  However as soon as I finally had shown my face to the leaders the wagon wheel fell off and I began leaking more oil than Exxon Valdez.  I closed with a 42 on my back side and turned in a 77.  This round really hurt today because I was calm and confident and ready to take control of the event, but the golfing gods had it planned another way.  I am going to once again keep my spirits up and forget about what happened.  That is all I can do moving forward.  Unlike last week where I had a bummer third round and carried that  poor play over into the 4th round, I want to make every effort possible tomorrow to close this tournament out the proper way.  I am going to play great tomorrow and get right back on the horse and ride off out of the Ocala sunset with the last laugh.  Thanks for reading.
