TOM PERNICE, JR.: You know, just got off to a pretty average or nice start. I hit it close at the third hole. I hit it about four feet and made a birdie. Thought I was off and running. Hit a good shot at 4 I thought. Pin is right in a tough spot right on the front, and it landed just off the left fringe and kicked in the bunker and kicked out about eight feet and had a tough downhiller and missed it for bogey.
All of a sudden caught fire at 6. Hit two good shots and hit a good drive and a 6-iron pin-high about 25, 30 feet and knocked it in. I thought that was a bonus.
And the par 3, I hit it in there about 20 feet below the hole and made it.
No. 8, hit a sand wedge in there about three feet. So kind of had it going a little bit.
And then I drove it in the bunker at 9. Had to lay up with a 7-iron in, I hit it about three or four feet and so obviously that was the major part of the round.
Also a good 3 at 10 and a good 4 at 11, which are almost like birdies on those holes I feel like.
Par 3 up the hill, No. 13, I hit a 5-iron about a foot.
And I made two good saves for par on 14 and 15, 5-, 6-footers. I missed both of the greens, and that really kept the round going.
16 I hit it down in front of the green in two and chipped it up about three feet and made the putt for birdie.
And then 18, I hit an iron in there, a good drive and 8-iron in there about a foot. Hit a lot of iron shots in there close which made it somewhat not so stressful, but the bonuses were obviously a couple 20-footers at 6 and 7 which really kind of got it started.
But the saves, at 14 and 15, were really the keys I thought.
