Mexico OHL Classic - Rounds One and Two

It has been a wild week so far. I'm losing track of what day it is. The weather delays on Thursday meant zero golf for us. Our first round started Friday morning. Kevin played solid. He is still struggling with the driver but he managed to keep it out of the hazards during the first round. With a solid iron game and putter, he shot a nice six under par (65). A quick 30 minute turnaround and we started our second round on the par three tenth with a tap in birdie. Unfortunately, as the round went on, the driver finally caught up to us. Two drives right into water hazards led to a bogey and a double and we made the turn at three over par. We made it to the third green when play was suspended for the day due to darkness. After a 4:00am wake up call, we were back in position at 6:45 and finished round two. A late bogey on the final hole kinda sums up how our year has been. From 136 yards, Kevin hit a nine iron 12 feet left of the hole that lands directly on top of a sprinkler head located on the fringe. The ball bounced about 40 feet away into an impossible up and down position. He did well just to make bogey from where we finished. We now are sitting at two under par for the tournament awaiting to see if it will be good enough to play the final two rounds. If so, we will begin round three late today and hope to get about nine holes in before dark.
