Tough sledding today. During the warm up, Kevin hit it well and talking with him throughout the warm up he felt much better today. A solid up and down on one and then a chip in birdie on two had us under par early. A hooked hybrid off the tee on three led to a bogey after chipping back out to the fairway but two more birdies on the par fives had us back under par (-2) through 8 holes.
Here is when things start to go south. After a nice drive on nine, a blocked wedge to the right of the green started a streak of ten straight missed greens in regulation. Not all were bad shots and not all were from the fairway but we still missed 10 in a row. The common thread was right. When we did miss the fairway, it was missed to the right. Then when we hit one off line from the fairway, it was also to the right. And wouldn't you know, when we did hit a solid shot on line, the distance was wrong. Add this all up, we shoot 34-42=76 for the day. Only hitting four greens all day, I guess the positive is that his short game was pretty solid. He chipped in twice and had some great up and downs. So, it could have been worse. The one over par total puts us in T-60th heading into the final round.
After the round, we once again hit the range and worked on things. We tee off tomorrow morning at 8:54 with Billy Hurley. As soon as we finish, we will be heading off to Memphis, TN for our US Open 36 hole qualifier on Monday.
