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.
