It’s amazing how one tournament roles so quickly into another. After winding down from such a good week at state farm, before I knew it, it was already Wednesday night of the LPGA championship!
Thursday morning I was a little tired and it showed. My first nine holes put me out of the tournament. I was +7 after 8 and then got it back to +5 but bogied my last two to finish back at +7. It really was all in my putting. My speed was way off for some reason. I putted quite a few putts eight feet past the hole!
The next day I went out trying to make birdies to get back in it. The problem with that is the Bulle Rock golf course is set up quite hard. It was playing long and wet so it’s not really the type of course you’re going to make 8 birdies!! I pushed a little to hard and ended up 3 over on the day. I must say I was quite disappointed. Perhaps my expectations were too high coming off the week I had before. On a positive note, I learned from it and I am hitting it well, so eventually the putting will come around.
After I missed the cut I stayed in Maryland for the 36 hole US Open qualifier on Monday. My body was feeling quite stiff so I only played 9 holes of each course Saturday and Sunday. Monday I teed off at 7.15 and it was very similar to the week before. I just started poorly. I was +5 on the front 9 and finished +6. The afternoon round was much better. I was -4 through 16 holes then 3 putted 17!! I finished -3. My total of +3 missed by 2 shots. It was unfortunate I didn’t start better. The funny thing is a lot of great LPGA players (Michelle Wie, Natalie Gulbis and Vicky Hurst) didn’t qualify. It’s really unfortunate for the tournament.
After the round I headed straight back to Los Angeles. I woke up Tuesday morning to get a sneak peak of my Go Daddy commercial! I am so excited for it to air and for all of you to see it. I had such a wonderful time shooting the commercial and the final product is better then I could have imagined. It’s very funny and I think you will all love it!
