hello mason what's up brian with dgn here top 15 at champions cub and jonesboro solid performances especially with today's solid mpo field but obviously i know that you're wanting even higher finishes than that what do you think needs to clean up in your game right now to break the top 15s and break into the top tens top fives and run for the win i think breaking into the top ten one thing i could do is i could do honestly more things that scare me on the course be a little bit more aggressive i'm not a very aggressive player i'm more of a safe player and i think just taking a couple things into account and being more aggressive on two holes every single round could be the difference between me getting into the top 10 top five yeah so then out here on these courses you say you want to play more aggressively but then as someone who's played these courses myself it's hard to say that in certain situations are you carrying that same mindset out here to jones and emporia country club i guess it really just depends on the course does the course fit my game does it not fit my game this week this course i feel like kind of doesn't fit my game as much as like somewhere like wr jackson might so i might not be taking as many chances this week because i know it might come back to bite me more than at jackson where i can scramble a little bit better versus here there's no scrambling you're getting an automatic stroke you can't save yourself so you are like you said known as more of a technical very intentional player with the way you throw the disc you come out to these courses like you say have a lot more distance a lot more wind lots of ob if you make any sort of mistake but you still have to throw the distance driver out here how is the distance driver flying for you this week in practice well so after jonesboro last year i noticed you know i'm not very good at throwing drivers and you know flex shots and stuff like that so this off season it's kind of one of the things that i tried to work on more jonesborough i didn't place...
