Played Ocotillo with Uncle Kipp and has a blast. They boy played his first round with his new putter and shot a legitimate 94 at a fairly tough course.
X3 Tournament Championship - final tour stop. The boy was in 3rd place overall and the only chance he had to win it all was to win the tournament and have both Conner (2nd overall) and Chase (leader) place 7th or lower. That wasn't going to happen. He just had to beat Cruz Cooper (4th overall) outright to maintain his position at 3rd overall - and he did. He birdied holes 3 and 5 and went into the 6th hole at even par. Doubles on 6 and 8 cost him but he finished strong with a par on 9 to end up +5, good enough for 2nd place behind Chase, who finished +3.
This was soooooooo cool. They asked if we wanted to kick back our 1:30 tee time to 12:36, and it's a good thing we did because otherwise would not have met Karen and Leon from Reno. Super cool people in their 60's that were very laid back. The kid teed off on the final hole needing a par to post a 79 but he bogeyed for a honorable 80 - beat me by three strokes. In addition to the victory, the boy also won the affections of Leon and Karen. We had so much fun.
