18 August, Skandia PGA Open, 1st Round 66 (-4)
Played solid today. Started at the 10th and I holed a few lovely putts early which got me going. Birdies at 11, 13 and 14 got me to 3 under at the turn. Dropped a shot at the third but bounced right back with a birdie 2 at the next. Finished my round well with a birdie 4 at the par 5 9th hole to be round in 4 under-par. I did hit a few loose tee shots but went through routine well and was relaxed on course. Much better over all. Short game much better as well. David

19 August, Skandia PGA Open, 2nd Round 69 (-1)
Played pretty solid apart from a couple of loose 3 woods in the middle of the round. Was patient and did not make my first birdie until the 11th. I enjoyed having my name on the leaderboard even though I never really thought about it much. Made frustrating bogey at the last as they were all decent shots and in the end I missed a tricky downhill 4-footer for par. I am third, 3 shots off the lead so am in good shape for the weekend.

25 August, Morson International Pro-am Challenge, 1st Round 73 (+3), 2nd Round 69 (-1)
Played pretty well today apart from a few loose drivers. Putted much better but still did not make anything of note. Short game is still a bit tentative as well. Did not end my round the best way. After missing from 5 feet at the 17th for birdie I made a dreadful bogey due to mental mistake at last. Finished two over for the opening rounds and it should be on the cut mark but will have to wait and see. David

26 August, Morson International Pro-am Challenge, 3rd Round 68 (-2)
Played well again. It poured down most of day, truly horrible conditions, but I grinded really well today for my score. Only mistake came at the 15th when I made a poor double bogey right when the rain finally stopped! Poor choice of tee shot followed by a thinned wedge but birdies at the next two holes was very pleasing. David
