- Shooting my lowest score of the year…
- …and having the most number of putts during the round
- What continues to sabotage my score and hold me back from breaking 90
- What I'm specifically working on this week

Key Quotes:
- "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go with others."
- "Could this be the weekend I keep the ball in bounds, putt confidently, take it one shot at a time, shot at a time, emotionally reset, refocus and regroup between every hole and play to my potential? Could this be the defining weekend where I break 90, I go low, I rack up five pars in one string of nine holes? I don't know, stay tuned."
- "We're out of bounds. Are you starting to notice the theme here? We're out of bounds again on 15. We end up with a double bogey on five, bringing us to the par three, 16. Boom, we hit the green in regulation again. This is a big talking point of today's episode."
- "I feel like I took three steps back in my swing. I felt like I couldn't hit the golf ball to save my life. I'm inconsistent, I'm overthinking. I wanna just regress back to what worked for me three days ago that I felt so confident about. And now I'm inviting in all of these swing thoughts."
