Two rounds in and it has been an unfortunate struggle.  The first day was absolutely ideal.  Sunny and zero wind.  I posted a poor five over 76 to really dig myself an early hole in perfect scoring conditions.  Today it was cold and breezy.  Despite a comedy of errors, I was even par through 15 holes playing the par 5 16th with a wedge in my hand hitting my third.  I spun a wedge off the green to a low lying area.  I proceeded to make a double bogey 7 from there and pared my way in for two over 73.  I was moving back in the right direction with the tough conditions, but the 16th hole really stung.
    The good news is now I know exactly what I need to do.  I am going to have to play absolutely exceptional golf the last 1/2 of the event in order to get into the top 20.  It has been done before, so I just have to go out there one at a time and knock some flagsticks down.  I'm not going to quit even though the last two days have been painfully agonizing.  Thanks for reading and I really really want some positive news to be in my future tomorrow.  I need to let it just come my way without pressing.
