Last Day in Marshall

I was lucky enough to play a final round in Marshall and I took advantage, shooting a final round 65. I birdied 4 of the first 7 holes to shoot 32 on the front side. Three birdies and one bogey on the back nine lead to a 33 and a 6 under par total.

I'll update later today/tomorrow when I know where I finished. I hope I snuck into the top 10.

**UPDATE** - I finished T-8th**

**SECOND UPDATE** Last Wednesday I played Hazeltine National Golf Club, which will host the PGA Championship in a few weeks. I played with a friend that worked with me in Arizona. We played hosts to two guests, one being Scott Seroka. He is a reporter for Kare 11 and he writes a blog. The most recent post was about our day at Hazeltine. Read it closely and you'll hear about my birdie on 13, which was playing 262 yards from the back tees to a back left pin. Keep this in mind during the week of the PGA because I believe 13 will play as one of the tougher holes that week. I also parred number 12, which is listed at 518. However, we played it from the back of the tee box and the pin was back from the middle, making the hole at least 530. My last moment of brilliance was a birdie on the signature hole, 16.

That is so cool that you got to play Hazeltine in PGA Championship conditions! Awesome score! Two of those and you'd be playing the weekend, I would think.
