I think I was starting to get a little fatigued. The good thing is my misses were in good places.

I totally surprised myself this week. I didn't feel I was playing well enough to win.

I shot 2 over on Friday and I just made the cut, so I have to be happy. I think it's been tough for me to win my second tournament. It's been tough.
