this kind of course suits me well probably how a lot of people learn how to play but like park course par 54 style i feel comfortable here i don't mind this course obviously that's kind of why i'm shooting good it kind of favors a lot of my strengths and stuff but uh it's a much shorter course i don't really throw as far as all the top dogs so i was able to fix my game plan and play pretty well out here i had a rough uh first three or four holes but got it going again got into a really good rhythm felt good out there i was making a lot of putts putting drives pretty close felt really good i went out there with the same mindset as yesterday same game plan and i think i'm gonna go out there with the same thing tomorrow just execution a little bit of luck here and there i think everyone's within a stroke or two so it's gotta be hot round it's gonna be a nice day tomorrow so i was gonna take a lot of birdies i think we all had a really good time there are a lot of tricky holes here it's hard to get that good scoring separation my driving felt pretty good and my putting was pretty solid i mean it was a great route everybody knew each other feel like the vibe was pretty good and we had a lot of spectators too yeah i'm excited i feel like one stroke is totally attainable here i can still win if i play clean i think that definitely putting is always the most important thing because you're never going to find yourself parked so if you can at least you know feel confident inside the circle you're going to do well you
