    Wright Tees it Off at the Aussie Open

    Wrighty Tees it Off at the Aussie Open

    Well a 44th placing at the Australian Open last week wasn’t the best result but it could have easily been a whole lot worse. I shot 1 under on the first day in the morning and then headed out in the afternoon for round 2 with a pretty strong wind and hard and relatively quick greens. These conditions made scoring extremely difficult and I hung in on the back nine to shoot 1 over for the day and an even par total through 36 holes.

    The third day saw me with another solid 1 under 71 and that total had me drawn with current FedEx Cup champion, Bill Haas. Gee what a great guy he turned out to be! Great company on a day that both of us struggled to make any ground on the leaders and I finished the tournament on 2 over total which had me finish in 44th place.

    I have now had a week spell in preparation for the Australian PGA which kicks off next week and after a bit of fine tuning with the coach out at Brookwater, I am all set to really get in the mix and contend in one of Australias oldest tournaments at Coolum!

    Look forward to reporting some great news next week. Until then, good golfing!

  • NSW PGA Washout
    November 7th, 2011

    The NSW PGA this week just gone ended up as predicted being a 54 hole event due to the first round being washed out. My scores of 66,67,72 placed me well done the leader board in 28th position. It was the 3rd and final round that proved costly as I was in tied 7th position after the 2nd round on 7 under. The 3rd day however was a little weird for me as I just didn’t feel comfortable on the greens or anywhere on the course for that matter. The putts didn’t drop early which had me feeling a little “flat” and I just couldn’t get into any sort of rhythm.

    Anyway, I am now on  my way up to Sydney this week for what is shaping up to be one of the best Australian Opens in history, with a fine field assembled in the week prior to the Presidents Cup.

    I know The Lakes course pretty well and with a little fine tuning from my coach Ian Triggs in the next 3 days, I should be well and truly ready to mix it with anyone who wants to take me on!

    Will report soon on some fine results!

    Good golfing

  • Off to Woolongong
    November 3rd, 2011

    After a rollercoaster couple of weeks from winning the WA PGA to missing the cut by a single shot in the WA Open, I am in Woolongong this week for the NSW PGA. This has been a good stomping ground for me in the past with a 2nd place finish here 2 years ago.

    It looks however to be a shortened event this year with rain falling constantly overnight and play being suspended for a minimum of 5 hours at this stage due to the fairways and greens being drenched with water. I was due to hit of at 12.40pm which takes me to 5.40pm so it looks very unlikely that I will get out on course at all today meaning that I will be playing 36 tomorrow or reducing the tournament to 54 holes. Time will tell but I am keen to get out there and get amongst the lead!

    Will report in soon.

    Good golfing all!
