| 5 May, Wachovia Championship | |
| Wachovia was a week I was looking forward to, as last year I missed it through injury. Quail Hollow is a fun old style golf course, with slopey greens and tree lined fairways. Unfortunately for me, too many trees and too much slope on the greens! I really got my tournament off to the worst possible start (double bogey, bogey, bogey) and ended up shooting +4, 76 on the first day. Although I got off to a terrible start, I felt that mentally I stayed very positive and if I had had a decent putting day, I think I could have been salvaged with an under par score. The second day was very much the same in terms of putting performance. Looking back on my round, if things had gone my way and I had putted nicely, I feel I could have shot between 67 and 65! Instead, a 73 left me four off the cut mark. The highlight of the round was holing a 91 yard sand wedge from the right hand rough on the par 5 10th for eagle, which made up for the previous day's double bogey 7! Although I missed the cut, I actually feel more upbeat going into the Player's Championship, as my attitude and temperament felt a lot better, and if I can keep that trend going and get back to a few simple basics, the results will soon turn around. After having to withdraw from Hilton Head due to some minor twinges in my back, I feel it has settled down really well, and with an increased stretching regime, the back feels really good. Touch wood! I am looking forward to coming back to England after The Players, and playing in front of a home crowd at Wentworth. Thanks for all your messages of support through the Masters and withdrawing from Hilton Head. Speak soon, Justin | |
