06/13/2007: "La Salle Bank Open"

Sorry for the late entry but for some reason last week my hotel did not have wireless internet. Well this week in Chicago didn't really turn out the way that I had wanted it to. Like I had said before, this tournament is like a major championship for the Nationwide Tour. It had long rough, fast greens and was one the largest purses of the year. Unfortunately they had a lot of rain the week prior to the tournament and it made everything really soft. Last year this was the only Nationwide tournament that I played in and the conditions were totally different. The course was so firm and fast that you couldn't hold some of the fairways. To put it into perspective, the cut last year was 6 over par and this year it was 3 under par!
I had one of my most interesting rounds that I have ever had during the first day. I made 8 birdies and shot even par! I guess that is the way this funny game works sometimes. I can only try and draw from the positives and look at all the birdies I made. I just need to make a few more pars with all those birdies. I am playing well though and know that great things are not far off.
