- Course Statistics: Seven Oaks GC, 6,843 yards, 143 slope, and a 74.6 rating. I finished T19 out of 78 players in this tournament while shooting a 76 and 77. My driving, short game, and putting was solid this week, but iron play into the greens was horrible. Trying to get up and down so often par, which I succeeded at doing most of the time, kept me from giving myself more birdie opportunities. I'm going to spend extra time working on my iron play over the next week so I'll be ready for my next event, an AJGA Qualifier for the UHY/ Celadon Junior Championship hosted by Marina Alex, August 5-8.
