    Two more days in the books.  It was a sort of yin and yang over the last two days.  Going into the second round I knew I needed a well played round to make it to the weekend.  I ended up playing the best round of the year and posting a near flawless seven under 65 to get me back into contention none the less.  Today unfortunately I struggled to a 73 and went spiraling down the leaderboard.  For whatever reason all year long I just never put my best foot forward in the third round.  It was a trend all year and I never could put my finger on it.  I know it is just another round of golf and is absolutely no different from any other round of golf I play, but I just never moved in the right direction on moving day.  Oh well, this is something I will soon correct and learn from.  In the mean time I have one more round tomorrow to play well and make up some of the ground that I lost today.  The most refreshing news is regardless of how tomorrow goes, I will be hopping on a plane to Boise, Idaho to compete next week on the Nationwide Tour. 
    With this being my 4th year as a professional and having not played in a PGA Tour sanctioned event since August of 2009, I am humbled and excited to be given the chance via a sponsors exemption.  I can't tell you how pleased I am right now with the quality of my game right now.  I know if I can just go out and be myself and believe in my ability, I can compete next week for a title.  Tomorrow I am going to go take care of business by getting the momentum back in my court, and then I am going to head to Idaho ready to play the best golf of my life.  With the 10 year anniversary of 9/11 tomorrow it is very easy to put into perspective how great a life and profession I have been blessed to have and I will pause tomorrow to pay my respect to the fallen victims that died one decade ago.  Thanks for reading and exciting times are just days ahead!
