Another Win!! Can't put into words how great of a stretch of golf I've had these past three weeks and I am very thankful for all the support I've had over the past couple years!!
This week started off for me in a great way as I stopped in on my drive across SD to see the Badlands National Park and Mt Rushmore in the Black Hills. They were both very amazing places and definitely didn't expect to see that in SD. I took some time getting away from golf and just enjoyed the drive and checking out what great Mother Nature is capable of creating! When I made it to Rapid City on Tuesday I played a couple practice rounds to see the golf course and start preparing for the tournament. The first round was on Thursday morning for me. I teed off at 6:30! Was definitely an early morning as I can't remember many tournaments beginning before 7am. The day to say the least went very well. I made three birdies on my opening 9 holes. I was hitting it very well and carried some good momentum into the back nine where I had a five hole stretch where I went birdie, par, birdie, eagle, birdie! Hit some great shots and made some nice putts. All of a sudden I was -8 on the day. I ended the round shooting a opening 63 and had a one shot lead. Round two I teed it up in the afternoon and again played a good round of golf. I shot five under 67 on the day and maintained a two shot lead heading into the final round! I have never lead a tournament the entire week so was going to be a first for me if I was able to get it done on the final day. The final round began Saturday at 11am. My first tee shot found the fairway and made a great birdie on the opening hole which was a par 5. This got me going and feeing great about my game. I played a very solid round the final day, played very smart and took advantage of opportunities when I had them. Ended the day shooting a final round -4, 67. My 3 day total was 196, 17 under for the three rounds and won by four shots. It felt so good to get another win under my belt!
I'm not there yet but I am looking forward to great things in the future on the golf course. Lots of work ahead but I'm getting back on the right track!
Thanks for following my progress, and thank you for all the great support and encouragement!!
