2011 PGA National Professional Championship

Talk about trying to find some magic? I need a little help today from a solid round to climb the leader board and break into that top 20. I figure that a 67 should do it, which is out there. I struggled to a 75 yesterday and am in a tie for 70th place at 4 over par. It took us 5 hours and 40 minutes to complete the round. It was nearly impossible to get any rhythm going as we waited on every shot. My tee time today is 8:40 off of the #1 tee. I need to come out firing. Talk to all of you soon.
