chipping course felt good great key management playing putting
I felt pretty good about the round. I thought my chipping and putting were great and it was a good round. I just need to keep playing my game. I thought my course management was good, and I think the key to this course is course management, so I am going to keep that as my strategy.
hole mess playing realized second virginia
I think I realized around hole 14 that Virginia wasn't going to mess up. She was playing steady; she was playing safe. I started playing for second (place) around there.
bit wind
The wind was a little bit of a factor.
definitely pleased wish
I wish we could just keep on playing. I was definitely pleased with my finish.
afford course greens manage miss places short tight
It's a short course, but it makes you manage every part of the course because it is kind of tight and the greens are tough. There are a lot of places you can't afford to miss here. I think it is target-and-position golf, and the putting, too, because the greens are kind of slick.
behind certainly confidence fresh goal second start win
It's always been my goal to win here and this certainly makes it a little easier. I have a lot of confidence now, but I have to put this behind me and start fresh in the second round.
beat best happy round trying work
My best round ever was a 65. I was trying to beat that, but it didn't work out because of the bogeys. But, I was very happy with my round today.
