Augusta Diaries (Fri)
-Looks like Augusta Diaries will continue for two more days! Super proud of how I played today. I hit the ball so solid all day and didn’t miss many shots. 2 three putts sting and speed wasn’t perfect but grinded out another 71 in really tough conditions. The wind on the back nine was no joke. It didn’t swirl as much but it was really strong. On 15 yesterday, I went for the green with a 4i, today I layed up with a 4i
-Watching this tournament for yrs and yrs, there are shots I’ve seen many times hit by my heroes growing up. To be playing this golf course and executing those exact shots I grew up watching, man that feeling is so so awesome. Augusta brings out all the emotions.
-That being said, this course with that much wind on this back nine is as stressful as it gets. There are times when I get excited and I’m like let’s go get a birdie when it’s a funnel pin like 8,9,14… but then there are times when I’m like omg, how will I get a GIR and hope for a birdie putt like holes 11,12,15,16. One wrong move and I’m going home for the weekend. Shane Lowry mentioned how pumped he is to get here and then when you play the tournament, you realize how brutally demanding this place can be haha.
-Feeling lots of gratitude today. 6 yrs ago I played terrible, knew I was going to play terrible, and was super down on my game. I’m in a much better place with my game, physically and mentally, and I have many people who believed in me and helped me along to thank for that. That being said, why not us??? Let’s go have ourselves a weekend!
