  • Masters Player Blog: It's All Positive


    • Dave Womack, who won the U.S. Mid-Amateur last year, is playing in his first Masters. The Georgia native, one of four reigning USGA amateur champions in the field, shares his thoughts with www.usga.org after carding a 9-over-par 81 in Friday's second round. He missed the cut, finishing 21-over 165.

    Augusta, Ga. - I really hated to see the day come to an end. It was a great day. It was awesome. I played a lot better today, and I made some birdies and that was a lot of fun.

    I wish I could have played better but I still enjoyed the whole experience. I think the neatest thing was the birdie I made on the ninth hole. I had like a 40-foot putt with 25 feet of break and when that went in the place went crazy. There was a huge roar. You want to have at least one of those when you play here. You hear them everywhere else, and it's great to get one more yourself.

    I started out planning to make the most of the day, and I did. I took some friends down Magnolia Lane and we got a lot of great pictures, and then to play pretty decently, that was nice. We took our time walking up the 18 th . Didn't play the hole that well, but we enjoyed the walk.

    Right now I'm mentally drained, but I'll look back and really reflect on the week maybe next week and try to look at it more objectively. I got the most out of this week, and that was my goal. I have no regrets. I'm going to go home and spend Easter with my family and do what I would do every year at this time, which is sit on the couch and watch the finish on TV.

    Now it's back to work on Monday. I lived in a fantasy land this week and now it's back to the real world. It was fun. I hate that it's over.
