It was a front right pan brutal hole and I’m aiming like four yards right of the hole. That’s where I want this ball to end up. But because I’m hitting like a five, six yard push, I was going like four to five yards left of that to account for the push. So I’m like, you know, I’m done trying to fix my golf swing in the middle of the US Open. That’s not a good idea. But what I did was just I played my miss and I just I started having great results. Shot one under on that side and I missed like three 7 foot putts that I should have made. It was one of those looking back and like I really could have shot four under the front nine there at the US Open and threatening to make the cut, but played shooting one under par on that side was really good. And again, it was just like I didn’t have my best stuff. If I aimed where I had been aiming, I’d probably shoot two or three over par again cuz if you’re short-sighted at finers, you’re toast. If you miss greens at Piners, you’re toast. So, just okay, I’m trying to play smart golf here. And it’s not perfect, but I can outsmart my miss. And it was still good enough to beat Scotty that day. It was good enough to tie Rory that day. And it’s just, man, like you don’t have to play perfect to play some good golf. Even at the US Open, it’s doable. There’s nothing more to say on that story. I’m just going to let it sit there. Wow. Great story. Great story, man.
