Pereira Open!

First day in Pereira was long, very long. I teed off at 12:30 and got to #5 at -1, but then a rain storm delayed play for over two hours. I finally got back on the course to par 5, 6, birdie 7, bogey 8, birdie 9, 12, 15 and came back the next morning to finish with par, birdie, par on 16, 17 and 18. I shot a 66 (-5) and I was leading by one shot, but since we finished the next morning and we started play again, I wasn't aware of where I was on the leaderboard. Second round was a nice fought 72 (+1) and I was still tied for the lead. I played 2 solid rounds on the weekend, shooting 71-71, finishing in T5th with a total of 280 (-4) and 3 shots back of the winner, Rafael Ponce from Ecuador. Rafa played for 5 or 6 years on the Asian Tour before coming back to South America.
I felt really good all weekend, and eventhough I was playing with top players and in contention, I handled the presure great and I had my nerves under control for most of the round. I'm getting familiar with the top of the leaderboard and I feel comfortable up there now! This was the most important part of the tournament, that I learned to be up there and contend. It was great preparation for the Colombian Open.
