REVIEW

It was a frustrating week for me. I missed the cut but I actually struck the ball well. My long game was good but my wedge play and short game were poor. But what was really annoying about missing the cut was that I felt the course set-up really suited me. The heavy rough was gone which meant that if you missed a fairway it was playable.

I only got here on Tuesday afternoon as I was in New York on Monday night at a charity fund raiser for Crumlin Hospital.
