The first round was sloppy. Kevin drove the ball great and hit it fine but for whatever reason, there was a lose of focus throughout the day. After a nice par on one and then a perfect drive on the hardest hole on the course (#2), we blocked a five iron right into a hazard. Kevin was able to chop it out onto the green but then three putted from about 60 feet. I think that start combined with a golf course in poor shape and an extremely slow pace of play (three hours to play the back nine), put Kevin in a frame of mind where he just was not focused. We gave away too many shots around the greens with "basic" chip shots and then never made a putt to pick up any momentum. The final result was a three over par round (74). After the round, we spent all of our practice time chipping and putting.
Today, we tee off number ten at 1:20. Scores are low so it will take something special to have any chance of hanging around for the weekend. But whatever happens, we will use today as preparation for the final four playoff events. Unlike most guys here, we have that luxury to relax this week knowing we have a PGA Tour card. Now it's time to go get ready for the playoffs.
