It was unfortunate, but you need to take some time out now and then. It put me back probably six weeks or so. I didn't play golf, but it was a good rest. I felt like I needed it, although it wasn't something I planned.

It was an up and down day, especially on the back nine with three birdies and three bogeys. They were stupid bogeys, to be honest. I feel disappointed right now, but I have another chance tomorrow.
