Then I hit a few more putts uphill into the grain, they sort of wobble a little bit more, which makes it a little harder. Then I hit a good drive and my caddie talked me into hitting 3-wood, I didn't want to. I'm like, OK. Not a great pitch. But to hole the putt was really nice. To shoot 10 after being, what, 8 or 9 early on with a par 5 coming up, I was trying to get ahead of myself, but I knew I had a good score coming.\"<\/p>\n<p>The Australian is playing in his 218th event on Tour and had his best result at the 2010 Shriners Children\u2019s Open during his rookie season where he finished second.
