Well, 2015 is here and I'm off and running. Coming off a couple month layoff, it was imperative I cut myself some slack for being a bit erratic out of the gate. That definitely was the case with my two week stint in Florida. First off, I got the 10 ton gorilla off my back. I won my first tournament as a professional as I begin my ninth season as a pro. It may have been a one day event in a small field, but I can't tell you how proud I was to get it done. It happened in my very first event of the year. I shot a 69 at Championsgate in Orlando and won by 3 over 18 others in the field. Three days later I won again shooting a 67 at Disney to beat out 39 pros. Two wins in one week after waiting over 7 years to finally get it done!

    I had some spotty golf as well that first week of training in Orlando, but headed down to Sebring, FL with full steam as I awaited PGA Tour Latin America Q School. I began the first round last Tuesday and after several holes of nerves finally settled down. I got it to 2 under with 4 holes to play, but really struggled down the stretch and finished the last 4 in 5 over to post a 75 in round one. The second day I played well and got it around in one under to get back in the mix. Day 3 I once again had it going. I pushed it to 2 under on the day w/ 4 holes to play to get back to even for the tournament. Unfortunately, I had an identical finish to day one and dropped 6 shots in 4 holes to close out my day.  The last day I had my work cut out. The wind blew significantly, and I needed a round of several under par to get a conditional card. Unfortunately, I played poorly start to finish the last day and didn't obtain my Latin America card for 2015. It was a total bummer, but I'm upbeat because my game is really starting to come together.

    I have no time to sulk. There's no room for that. I have to pick myself up and get ready for my next opportunity. I write this as I'm flying to Los Angeles for OneAsia Q School. This begins on January 27th, so I'll have 2 full days to get ready. I need to polish up a few rough spots, but I will be 100% ready to go come Tuesday morning. You can follow along at www.oneasia.asia to track my progress this week. Last week ended with a small bump in the road, but in pro golf you have to roll with it and be confident with a short memory. My first win is already wrapped up in 2015, now it's time to go out and be consistent for an entire tournament. I'm up to the challenge. I've got to keep my head down and keep working meticulously. Big things are ahead. Process. Patience. Attitude.
