Comeback?

I've been struggling lately to make a comeback after a bad round to make the cut. I don't know exactly why, but it was hard for me to get fired up and grind the round out when I needed a good one. Today was big for me, because even though I got off to a slow start, I hung in there and hit the shots I needed to hit.

I figured the cut was going to be at even, and I was hovering close to the needed progression all day. Coming in I made some great recoveries for par, all the while waiting for my chance at another birdie. It came on the last hole when I made a twenty foot putt for birdie. Lock it up.

So 69 today. I ended up being one better than the cut, but I thought the putt on the last hole was crucial. I made it, and I'm alive for another day.

I like the pressure I felt today, and how I reacted. I wish it wasn't just for the cut, but that's where my game is at right now. I've been working on a couple of new things for the last 6-7 days, and they seem to be paying off. I think my game is coming along, and it's only a matter of time until I'm in contention in one of these "bigger" tournaments. This week has been a huge boost of confidence, because lately I haven't been able to grind out my rounds. I knew still had it, but this proves it.

Getting back into the swing of things now. A good one tomorrow and I'll still be able to get a good finish out of the week.
