Mayakoba Golf Classic,
Mexico,
PGA Tour,
Honda ClassicI am happy to be back in the States after making the cut and finishing T54 at the Mayakoba Golf Classic in Mexico. I was psyched to play all four days. I was not used to missing cuts in my past years playing golf, but it's a whole new world out here. I need to adjust a little more to the PGA Tour life and realize, it's just golf and I can play out here.
I was really hittin' the ball well the first day of the tournament when I posted a 66. But overall I was definitely not satisfied with my performance last week. I am a much better player than I have shown thus far in the 13 rounds I have played. Hitting the ball well, just not scoring at all...
Mexico is a beautiful place though...beautiful. I was afraid of the water—not of swimming in the water, drinking it. I am a pretty basic guy when it comes to food, so my options were limited. And the people looked at me funny when I asked for something...I guess it's my accent.
I was listed as an alternate for the Honda Classic and just found out that enough players have dropped out, so I'm in. I missed at the Monday qualifier...same type of round I've had all year...an eagle and 5 birdies and shot 1-under. But now that I'm in, I'm ready.
Thanks for your support.
