I am not an oracle or anything... buuuut...

Real brief. Last week at the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic, after my one hour lesson with Ron Stockton, I set three (very lofty) goals for myself. In order for me to win the JFOCC, I told myself that I would have to

1. Shoot all four rounds in the 60s.

2. Break 200 through three rounds.

3. Make zero double bogeys.

Now I know that the third requirement I set for myself seemed like a no $hi+, Sherlock, but I had been having a DB barrage over the last several weeks. Between the two previous weeks, if I had removed my doubles from my rounds, I would have been in the top ten. Both weeks. Comical. But not.

Now, that being said. Let's see where I stacked up.

1. I shot 66-67-67-70. I failed to shoot all four rounds in the 60s. I thus went on and lost in a playoff.

2. I shot 66-67-67 through three rounds. That equals 200. I thus went on and lost in a playoff.

3. I made one double bogey, on the 55th hole. Stupid, stupid girl. I thus went on and lost in a playoff.

Now I am no prophet, just by seeing the layout of the golf course, and knowing how I was feeling, I knew what I had to do to win this tournament. It seems freaky, but I just knew... And came up just short. Nuts. ON TO THE US WOMEN'S OPEN!!!

  1. I would really love to see you fighting for it this week. After Lorena, you're my favorite player to watch, you have what I like to see on a player: explosion, drama, excitement, risky shots, bombs from the tee, lot of smiles, yelling... wow, what I player you are! I'm sure I'll finally get to meet you in Guadalajara, you're not getting out of this!... see you on twitter (@cesarp3) :-)

  3. You played very well at the JFOCC. You got it figured out. Don't turn bogeys into doubles. (Minimize the damage). Always been told to keep your head in the game & Play smart!! Physical errors are one thing but mental errors are unforgivable!!!
