Hey Everyone,

Going into this week I had very high expectations as I was very happy after each of my practice sessions last week.

To start the way I did on Tuesday was great! It was a good feeling that all the hard work in the off-season and the 1st week I was here in Myrtle Beach had paid off. I was looking forward to Round 2 on Wednesday.

I went through the same routine as I do before every round on Wednesday morning. I was happy with my warm up. The round started out a little bit rocky but I leveled out until the back 9 started. Shooting +2 on the front 9, I knew I had to be better on the back 9 to make the cut as the golf course was very scoreable. My approach shots with my irons on the back 9 were not my best and it was a bit frustrating. I tried to hang in there and I made a good birdie on 14 but it was thrown out by a missed short putt on 17 which in the end was the difference of making the cut on the number and missing it by 1 shot.

Looking back at the week, I believe there are a lot of positives to build off of but I also know what I need to work on before next week.

I have now missed 2 cuts in the Hooters Carolina Winter Series by 1 shot and I don't think missing cuts will get any easier. When you play well and miss the cut it is hard mentally. But you have to let it go quickly and jump right back into practicing hard the next day.

For the next 4 days I will continue to work hard on my game!

Until next time, take care.

All my best,

RYAN
