Unfortunately, no. I started with a couple of bogeys on the back that put it out of reach, so I started working with my playing partner who is a student of mine. He's been playing in some mini-tour events and because of the travel has been away from instruction too long. So I went back to teacher mode.
The 32 was a lot of fun though. After telling BEN DOYLE! that I was the best putter he'd ever seen (with great humility), I thought I'd better back up the trash talk. When I returned and told Ben that I'd shot 4 under with 11 putts for the nine, he said in the volumes of words that he typicallly uses, "That's impressive." He gave me a grin and a wink, as if to say, I guess you are...
At dinner last night we were talking about the events over the last three days. I told Ben that I'd never felt such pressure in having to make a putt in all my life. I had Ben Doyle, Yoda, and the whole crew, including our videographer, waiting on me to make a 9 ft, uphill putt that broke a foot to the right. Tournaments should be easy, from here on out.
