OH SO CLOSE! //
26th
May 2008 |
Well...what
can I say? Apart from oh so close! Another
runner up finish and the best result
of my career, but it was so close to
being a magical week. I felt I was on
track for the title by putting myself
in contention on the back nine of the
final round and played solid golf. Unfortunately
the bogey on seventeen was costly, but
I knew I had a chance with the putt
on the last. I hit a great putt but
it didn't drop as I had hoped. On to
the playoff, which felt like destiny
in a sense and I thought this was my
week. I had won that tournament so many
times in my head and to have a 10-foot
putt on the last for the title I felt
there was no way I could miss. I hit
a great putt which caught half of the
hole and lipped out which proved to
be costly as you have to take every
chance you're given in a tournament
of that quality. The second playoff
hole I failed to find the fairway but
managed to give myself a birdie putt
to stay in it which unfortunately fell
foul to the Wentworth greens.
It was hard to take afterwards as I
kept thinking about the putt I had to
win and I was truly amazed it didn't
drop, but I have to take the positives
from a great week and Monday morning
things seemed a lot better than they
did Sunday night. Up to 45th in the
World and on the way to the Majors,
which I now feel after the past week
that I can compete in.
I'd like to thank everyone for their
support, especially the spectators who
were absolutely incredible. To have
had that kind of support was truly amazing.
It was like being at Wembley at times
with so much home support.
Although I didn't win I feel I have
forged my way onto new ground yet again
and look forward to the journey. I believe
it will just make that first victory
all the sweeter.
My second charity day for D.A.R.E. will
be held on August 18 at Hollinwell Golf
Club and we will be auctioning off a
chance for three guys to join me to
take part in the day later this week.
More details to follow soon on my website.
