It's been another week and I've had another tournament. I played down in Janesville, Wisconsin and finised t-13th. I struggled with everything the whole weekend, but grinded out a few decent rounds. For the four rounds I shot 283, which was 5-under par. I started with a 73 and shot a 70 the second day. On Sunday morning I shot a bogey free 67 and then finished the tournament with another 73. The heat really got to me Sunday afternoon and when I didn't have any momentum going, I lost my focus.
Getting home from Janesville was when my week began getting really good. I found out I got accepted into the North South Amateur Tournament, which is held at Pinehurst. I'll be travelling down there in early August. The tournament is played on #2 and #8. That means that 6 weeks after the US Open was played there, I'll get to play it.
On Monday, June 27th I qualified for the Minnesota State Open. I travelled to St. Paul and shot a 70 at Keller Golf Club. That was good enough for co-medalist.

Later that night, I found out I played my was onto the team that will represent Wisconsin in the USGA State Team Championship later this fall. My win in the match play guarunteed me a spot so I'll have to delay turning pro until October because the event will be at the end of September. It will be my last event as an amateur, but I can't think of a better way to end my amateur career than to play in a USGA event.
Next up for me is the State Amateur. I will be leaving for it on Sunday July 10th. The tournament will be July 11th-14th. After the first two days there will be cut and then two more rounds. I've been working hard on my game in hopes that I can compete and have a chance to win it come Thursday.
