My First Pro Tournament
Jordan Johnstun
I just competed in my first tournament as a professional which took place in Ocoee, Florida on January 12-14. I posted rounds of 72-70 totalling to an even par tournament, but unfortunately I missed the cut by 2 strokes. With 5 holes left to complete in my second round the Hooters Tour officials called the round due to darkness. I was even par for my round when the horn blew and knew I had to make a couple of birdies the following morning to make the cut. I was able to make only 1 birdie but was pleased with how I finished because the last few holes were the toughest on the course. I was happy with certain areas of my game and took a lot of positives away from the week, although I missed the cut. I found myself getting to caught up in “just trying to make the cut” instead of going out to try and win. As long as I keep learning each and every week I believe I will succeed. My next event will be the Hooters Tour Carolina Series in North Myrtle Beach, February 2-4. I will be sending out another post after the tournament. Thank you Jones Creek for all your support!
Good luck in Myrtle, we’re pulling for you!
