It was a precarious start to the week with a haze condition in Kuala Lumpur that was unsafe to be outside. This led to the first round being completely canceled and ultimately the tournament decided over 3 rounds. I got off to a solid start in the event with rounds of 68, 68 (-4) and was only 2 strokes off the lead heading into the final round. On the 13th hole in my last round, I lost my ball just off the fairway due to an embedded ball that I could not find. This was a tough break to swallow and resulted in a triple bogey and a 2 over par 72. This is an unusual circumstance that I have incurred in two of my last three events.
Nonetheless, it was a positive week as I finished the tournament tied for 15th. I am off to Bengaluru, India which is in the southern state of Karnataka in the morning.
Go Pats!
