I just didn't play well. I played poorly this morning and poorly for the first nine holes this afternoon. But you know, Geoff played very well. You have to give him a lot of credit. He played extremely well and made a lot of clutch putts. I am proud of the way I performed this week though.
I played poorly for the first nine holes but Geoff played very well. You've got to give him a lot of credit. I just didn't have it today but I gave it everything I had.
