Tour Championship Update
It’s Saturday night in Barrie, and I’m thankful to say that I played today and will be playing tomorrow. Unfortunately, I played awful today and will consequently be playing in the first group out tomorrow morning.
Getting into the weekend was very solid. I hit the ball very average in the first round but managed to salvage and even par 72. On Friday I hit the ball great. I had a very steady round going where I was 2 under through 14 holes. Unfortunately, the last four holes we played in near darkness to get the round completed. Those four holes went great tee to green, but I could not see well enough on the greens to properly read my putts. I had 8 feet, 12 feet, 10 feet, and 4 feet for birdie on the last four holes. Not one of those putts touched the hole thanks to my inability to read putts at dusk.
I was sitting in 25 place going into the weekend at 2 under par. Only sitting 3 strokes out of my desired 11th place finish to retain my card, it was looking good.
Having said that, today was an awful day. I hit lots of fairways, but could not for the life of me even sniff a green. I putted fine but it wasn’t enough to save my awful iron play. I carded a disastrous 80 and fell to 6over and in second last.
Tomorrow, I intend to go out early and play well and truly bounce back from this fluke of a round today.
On a side note:
Tonight is a sad night, it’s my last night out on the road with the Canadian Tour. Looking back, this has been the time of my life. I have had so much fun and truly wish it didn’t have to end. I understand it will start again next year, but it will be a challenge to get back into my routine back home, and get into a routine without the good friends I have made out here. I am reflecting a lot, and I will be sure to enjoy tomorrow’s round no matter what. I will write more on the great experience this tour has been in the coming weeks.
