I just arrived here last night after spending a week in Florida decompressing from my last two events in Asia and all the travel that went along with them.
After coming off the eleventh place finish in Portland, Oregon, the tour had a two week break and I was able to go home to Grand Rapids and spend some time with family. Two weeks definitely helped to take care of some aching muscles and gave me a chance to get some good workouts in.
I am so pleased to be able to report some good news from the weekend. Last week the tour was in Portland, OR (one of my favorite cities) for a three-day event. I shot 71-71-68, finished six under and tied for eleventh. It was my second best finish of the season and a big step in the right direction.
Things are looking up. I may not have had the finishes in the last two events that I know I am capable of, but my game has shown some major improvements. I had a bit of a chip on my shoulder from a month of frustration but it was much more manageable than ever before. Perhaps the success of the first half of the season is keeping me from getting too down or maybe I am better learning to handle the life of a professional golfer with every step of this journey.
