    Today was a great day.  I shot a three under par 67 and obtained my goal.  I reduced the deficit and now trail the leaders by one shot.  Last night the city of Saint Louis was inundated with rain and it made for a sloppy day on the course.  My only complaint of the day came on my 16th hole of the day where my ball came to rest in a washed out bunker that was almost completely filled with water.  Under the rules you are able to take relief from water in a bunker, the only problem was there was hardly anywhere to drop my ball where there wasn't water.  I made a bogey after having to play the shot barefoot because of the ankle high water.  Other than that misstep and rules snafu I had an absolutely great day.  Tomorrow is what I live for as a professional athlete.  The chance to win by getting my nose right in the thick of things.  I can't wait.  I will have the same gameplan as I did the first two days.  I will be playing disciplined golf under the blue print I set out at the beginning of the week.  I will trust each individual shot and from there let the chips fall where they may.  If I can play my game and stay patient, tomorrow will be a great day.  Thanks for reading and I look forward to really coming into my own tomorrow at St. Albans CC.
