US Amateur Qualifying

Whirlwind Golf Club - Cat Tail
Par 72 7,218 yards

Today was the first day of the qualifier, and possibly the last if I didn't make the cut. This was the first tournament I've played in with a cut, but I don't care about that. I just want to qualify! I knew coming in that I'd have to go extremely low to make it, but I know I'm plenty capable. I got off to a good start on the front nine with a 34. I bogeyed ten, but made up for it with birdies on 12, 15, 16, and 17. I had a good two putt on the last to finish with a 67. I really was patient throughout the round, and took the birdies as they came. I hit 13-14 fairways, and the only one I missed was with 4 iron!! I hit 13 greens, and had 26 putts. I don't know where this leaves me for the day because I was one of the first groups out, but if you want to find out the results are on azgolf.org. I need a top four to qualify so hopefully I'll be close!

  2. It looks as though the new putter was just the ticket. Play well tomorrow!
