    Breakthrough!  Today was a really special day for me.  Yesterday I knew I had a heck of a mountain to climb today with my remaining 13 holes.  I made 6 birdies this morning like I needed and posted a 68 to make the cut.  To finally dig down deep when I really needed it really lights a fire under me.  I play week in and week out to win tournaments, but today felt like a win even though I barely made the cut.  The obstacles I faced this morning after the adversity I felt yesterday coupled with the fact that I overcame this bolsters my confidence.  The event has been shortened to a 54 hole event due to the inclement weather that has wreaked havoc on Rogers, Arkansas this whole week.  That gives me one round tomorrow to play as well as I can and further climb the leaderboard.  Today ranks right up there as one of the most proud moments I have had as a professional golfer.  I may very well not win this week, but today proved to me finally with some tangible proof that I have the guts and talent to play this game at the highest level.  Tomorrow is going to be another great day and I finally have a springboard to rocket me forward with some real confidence.  Thanks for reading and I look forward to carrying the momentum into Monday in Lawrence, Kansas.
