2008 season is finally here!

I just got back from my first tournament of the year and I'm quite pleased with my results! I shot 71-75-67-70 (-5) to finish tied for fourth.

The tournament was the National Pro Championship, held at Peñon Resort. The course is almost at sea level (only 288 meters, around 950 feet), plays 7020 yards long with a 74.1 rating and a 130 slope. This means that it is a pretty hard course. The back 9 is one of the hardest of the country, having really long and tight par 3's. It is a good ball striking test, the only downfall for that course is that the greens are really slow and grainy, making it hard to chip and putt.
Fist round I played ok, didn't hit the ball too good but i made a bunch of putts. I had 27 putts. Second round was tough... I just couldn't get anything going and couldn't make anything that day. I ended up with 34 putts...
Third round was a completly different story! I chipped in on #2, birdied #3, #5 and #8 on the front for a 32, then I chipped in again on #11, birdied #12 and #13. I was -7 thru 13 holes with chance to tie or break the course record! Unfortunately, i lost my concentration and finished with 2 bogeys in the last 3 holes, for a 67 (-5). My college coach would have been very mad with that round!
Final round was fun, because I was close to the final group and there were a lot of people watching the tournament. I've really gotten my game to where I can perform under the toughtest pressure. That is when I play my best! I shot a solid 70 (-2) to climb 4 spots and T-4th.
Diego Vanegas won, with a total of -15. He played solid golf.
