Washington Open Invitational

After a rough day on the course, derek shot a +4 to finish -3 for the tournament. This put him in a dissappointing tied for 7th place. His swing needs some work, and thankfully his putter helped him score the first two rounds. Unfortunately yesterday he couldn't get the rock to roll as well as the first two rounds.

Despite the dissappointing finish, Derek's friends and family were very excited to watch him in his debut as a professional. It definitely gave me chills at the first tee when they announced him as "Professional Derek Berg". And that is what he is, a professional. There are days when you make it look easy and days when you don't. Although yesterday was a day that was more of a grind, the season has just started and there are more tournaments around the corner.

Final results from the 2011 Washington State Open can be found here.

The tournament raised half a million dollars for Camp Korey, which is the official charity of the tournament. For more info about this charity, please go to www.campkorey.org

Thank you for all the support!

Round One - WA State Open

After his first round as a professional golfer, Derek came into the clubhouse with a 3 under 68. It was a bit of a dissappointing 68, as he got a bogey on the last hole (No. 9) and missed an 8 foot birdie putt on the second to last hole (No. 8).
Nonetheless, the first round is under the belt. Tomorrow he tees off at 9:20 on hole #1. After tomorrow's round, there will be a cut and then tee times for Wednesday will be announced.
Results from today can be found here.
