Starting on the back nine he started with a dropped shot but picked up two birdies to be out in one under par. He again started his back nine with a dropped shot where he found bunker trouble. He got that back immeriately with a nice birdie on the par five 2nd hole where he holed from 26 feet but disaster struck at the next par five where he found a waste bunker and three putted the hole for a double bogey seven. He birdied his next hole but needing a couple of birdies coming home, he dropped his final shot at the par four 8th hole to sign for a 72 and a three over par total for the tournament. He has a week off now as he is not playing in the U.S. Open.
