Byron Nelson (Dallas, TX) - First Round

We played a solid round of golf today. Teeing off number 10 presents a bit of a challenge starting the day. Since the tenth does not start near the clubhouse, we had to complete our warmup 20 minutes early, load up into a van, and ride out to the tenth tee. Kevin's rhythm was a little off early and it took a few holes to get into the flow of the round. I feel like we managed the round nicely and made only one bad mistake late in the day on the sixth hole. After hitting a perfect tee shot, we short-sided ourselves with a nine iron and could not get it up and down from a tough position. It was just a situation where he was a little too aggressive and it cost us a shot as we finished with a bogey.

On a day where conditions were tough and scores were not low (5 under leading), Kevin finished the day with a one under par (69). We caught a bit of a break with the wind as the gust seemed to lay down late in the day. Tomorrow's forecast is for gusty winds in the afternoon so I'm hoping we can get most of our round in with calmer conditions once again. We tee off tomorrow at 9:00.
