I had a fairly boring round of 71. I didn't make any long putts (longest was just inside 19 feet on #10), didn't hit a ton of greens, got up and down only 3 of 8 tries. But I had no double bogeys and made a few mid-length putts to steal birdies.
Mostly disappointed about #14, which was playing straight downwind and was reachable. My 3w approach jumped left off the clubface and found the bunker, from which I couldn't hope to hit it near the flag. I had to hole a 7-footer just to save par.
My best shot was probably this flop on #2 to save par from left of the green; I wasn't yet in the mindset of hitting the center of the green.
On #6 and again on #12 I did not intend to go at the flag, but sort of accidentally did anyway and birdied both holes. On 18 I hit a nifty 3 wood from a sidehill lie with side wind that crept onto the front of the green and settled 15 feet from the hole in a nearly flat area. Knowing that I needed a birdie to top fmagnets, I promptly missed the ding by a wide margin and missed the hole by a foot.
Worst shot of the round was a downhill lie on 13 just after I'd gotten under par for the first time. It caught a downslope I didn't know existed; my 160 yard 5 iron ran 204 yards and would have kept going if not for the rough. I hit a good wedge from behind the green to a flat spot 10 feet from the hole, but pushed the putt nearly as badly as the one on 18.
