I have been over here in the US
now for a little over two weeks so
just want to update you on the events
so far.
LA was a great event, beautiful location
and my first on the PGA tour this
year. I felt like I played well but
in hindsight my preparation in the
UK snow wasnt ideal, flying out to
LA early may have made a difference
- so much for the British weather!
I still went to the Matchplay though
feeling confident and positive with
my game.
Playing at the Ritz-Carlton golf club
in the desert was something that I
was really looking forward to. The
location and climate really suited
me and I, like everyone else, was
eager for the return of Tiger to the
tour. My game was good I thought ,and
I was chuffed with the two big wins
against K J Choi and Anthony Kim.
On Friday though I should have beaten
Justin Leonard but a bogie on the
19th put a stop to that. I was very
disappointed to have played so well
for 54 holes and then make a silly
bogey to lose. But that's Matchplay
I suppose. Pity I didn't get a chance
to play Tiger but next time maybe.
So far so good though and I am in
good shape going into Doral next week,
the game is good and i have high hopes
for the Blue Monster.
This week I am just going to relax
and try and get some practice rounds
in at Augusta to get re accustomed
to the golf course before the Masters...
well I will try when it stops snowing!!
