I thought 17 would be kind of the pivotal hole, and it did turn out to be that way. He hit it in the trees and I hit it on the green in two.

I had about five minutes to run inside and change my shoes a little bit, put on a new shirt, and go straight to the tee box. Just like playing college golf all over again.
