Boy I've been busy! The summer is here and so is tournament golf. I've had a mixed bag of results and the opportunities I have in professional golf ahead excite me. I was in Memphis this past Friday for the PGA Tour pre qualifier. I unfortunately shot a 71 and missed advancing by one shot. While this is disappointing, I was 4 over after 6 holes and fought back thru adversity with 3 birdies. A final putt on 18 that just slid by from 15 feet for birdie sealed my fate. I showed grit, moxie, and resolve and that was fantastic. Over the weekend I played in a local tournament shooting 72-67 and finished 5th place, 3 off the winner's score. The second day I played really great golf. I continued the marathon by teeing it up Monday in Chicago in a Web.com qualifier. There was 20-25mph sustained winds that made scoring challenging. 69 got in consequently. I had an immense struggle on my opening nine with loose shots magnified by the wind and shot 44. I rallied for an uneventful back nine 35 to finish the qualifier by proving to myself to dig deep and not quit.

Thus, I'm showing flashes of brilliance mixed with pain. The recipe moving forward obviously is more consistency. I do this by working my process of practicing mentally and physically the right way. I can't get so low on a bad shot. I need to forget about it and move on. I have to continue to not get caught up in results on the course. The more I want success and really press to make it happen, the worse I play. I have to let my talent come out by trusting my game and being a reactionary athlete out there. I have one final opportunity this week. I'm headed to Puerto Rico for a 3 day tournament. It's a unique event where the winner takes home an exemption into the 2017 PGA Tour Puerto Rico Open. Look at it as an extended 3 round qualifier. The only way I will find success is by good preparation and as mentioned, letting go of the outcome, results, and incentives. I also can't play scared, have any doubt, or lack conviction under the gun. It's easy to say, but I'm going to go out there and simply play golf with confidence, fun, and athleticism. Let the chips fall where they may at week's end. Thanks for the support. I'm excited to keep working hard and forget about the results. Great things are ahead. Don't worry about results to get results!
