hitting love nicely people win
I'm hitting it nicely and I'll try to keep it going. There are a lot of people who want to win this a lot more than I do. I would love to do it myself, but it's not that important.
win year
It's been a frustrating year where I haven't managed to win so it's great.
performed question rather regular sooner winning

annoyed difference frequently point shoot
It doesn't really make any difference to me if I go out and shoot 64 or 74. Obviously, I'd like to shoot 64 more frequently than 74. There's really no point in me getting annoyed about it. There's other things, more important things going on.

lack party scoring week
Lack of beer, if you want to know the truth. Usually, this week for me is a party week, but the scoring is getting in the way.
repeat wish
I wish I could repeat it a little more often.
par thursday
Usually, par for me on Thursday here is 82.

I left three or four out there, but I played nicely again.
again european fitting golf great happened hosting last synonymous top
The Belfry is synonymous with many of the great things that have happened to European golf over the last two decades, so it is fitting that once again it is hosting one of our top tournaments.
mess
We all mess up now and again. That was just one of those times.
affecting bound golf quite top
As you can see from my results, it's affecting me quite a bit, which is normal. It's bound to. My golf is not really at the top of my list. But at the same time, I'm not just going out to make up a number. I want to try and compete.
