Sunday January 22, 2023 - US Kids Tournament

 What a rebound!   After a brutal showing two weeks ago at the Biltmore, the kid birdied 3 of his first 6 holes and went on to finish 6th with an 81.   This was despite a double and a triple on the back nine.


The score was excellent despite some serious misses:
Horrible drive on 1 - missed left, almost OB
Horrible tee shot on 14 - missed way left, almost needed penalty stroke as ball near fence
Horrible drive on 15 - major slice almost in water, 175 yards max
Horrible tee shot on 17 (bunker way right), half assed sand shot, brutal 4 putt
Horrible drive on 18 - barely cleared the water

There's still lots to work on but this was a huge mental victory.

 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.

Trevor played The Shoals - Fighting Joe course with Bill Beumer, the head golf coach at Grissom High School in Huntsville.   The state championship is being played at this course so he wanted to get familiar with it.   Trevor got off to a rocky start but birdied back to back holes to finish the front nine and cruised to an 82 on yet another great course.

 Met Jim Furyk at the Pro Am during the Candian Open.   We wore our Wildcats shirts and he came over to talk to us.   Very exciting for both of us.
