I ended up missing the cut today by two shots as I shot a one under 70. I am definitely disappointed in my results, but I have got to keep moving forward. I triple bogeyed my second hole of the day to really put myself behind the eight ball with my final 16 holes left to play. I responded with some serious courage by consecutively making birdies on number 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 to give myself a realistic chance of playing tomorrow. I needed two more birdies on my final six holes, but I missed all six birdie chances coming in unfortunately. I was really proud of the way I fought all the way to the end even though I didn't have my best stuff the last two days.
So what did I learn over the past two days? I have got to be more athletic and use my instincts when I am out there playing. There were two many occasions where I was over the ball and I had multiple swing thoughts going on in my head. I was way to mechanical. I need to just let it go, see the target, and let my body react to it accordingly. I am very happy I played in this event, regardless of my poor play because it pinpointed exactly what I need to work on in the areas of my game moving forward in the next two weeks before I leave for Spain. I need to get better each day from here on out and work as hard as I can with the two weeks that I have. If I can really bear down and grind it out on the range and have maximum internal belief in myself for the remainder of 2011, I will look back with ZERO regrets no matter what happens, because I know I left everything I have out there on the line. I am a firm believer that with disciplined-hard work and true belief, I will find that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. A great attitude goes a long way, and mix that with a bunch of athleticism, and all of a sudden I have got a dangerously lethal weapon. Let's go out and unleash it! Thanks for reading and I'll update you with my final preparations before leaving November 28th for Spain.
