This season started out with BYU on the tee and a 560 yard par 5 ahead of it. The t-shots from last year were either hooking, slicing or worm burning- in other words a par or birdie were so far out of reach, no one gave them a thought. But BYU teed off, had a beautiful straight drive go 220 yards before hitting the yard marker stone and taking a fortunate (some might call lucky) bounce an additional 120 yards. Still a really long 240 to the green, and we set up for the 2nd and it gets lost to the left where it takes not one but two fortunate (some may say lucky) bounces off the cart path and settles 44 yards (see what I did) from the pin just off the fringe. The approach lands 22-21 inches from the pin with an uphill putt, that BYU promptly hits 4 feet passed the hole and the perfectly played hole were gone. Now BYU has a sharp downhill, sharp breaking putt for par. Not impossible, but not looking very good. Shoulda played the birdie putt better, but here we are. Nothing changes the amazing process to get us to that 22-21 incher for birdie...so much cool stuff happened to get there. But, this is my opinion, we choked hard and made everything that was in front of us 10 times more difficult.
