Second Stage Q-School - Third Round

We didn't play well today. We started off struggling with the ball striking early in the round. Some pull hooks with the driver that led to penalty shots and a few loose irons gave us three bogeys through seven holes. Kevin was able to work through it and steadied the ship. Two late birdies on the 15th and 16th holes got us back to even par for the day and that's where we finished (72). Our nine under total still keeps us in great position to advance. We are tied for sixth and four shots clear of the "number".

After the round, Kevin went through a few putting drills and then hit some balls. We focused on ball position and the pace off the ball. I thought he looked quick in the first move off the ball which effects the entire tempo of the swing. He also felt like his ball position was a little off so we just made sure it was where he wanted it to be. A round of golf is always about making adjustments. Kevin made the changes and was able to save the round. It was a hard fought day and we are pleased with the even par.

We tee off tomorrow at 10:10. Benji and his man shot the same score (72), so we will once again be paired together tomorrow. I look forward to another day of learning from one of the best club caddies in the world
