TJGT, San Angelo

This was Roen's second tournament with the TJGT. When I saw their West Texas tour was playing in San Angelo, you better believe I signed Roen up! A trip home and a tournament.... two birds, one stone!

Kim and Cindy were able to come down to watch, and it was truly just the best couple of days!

Roen came out on day one shooting a 79- not anywhere close to where he wanted. Going into day 2 he was sitting 7 strokes behind 1st place.... a kid who is a very well-known junior golfer and just so happens to be one Roen would love to beat. Well, Roen came back on day 2 and gave Landry a run for his money! With an eagle putt on hole 18, Roen ended the day with a 72. This had him tied for 1st with Landry- talk about a comeback story! Had they done scorecard playoff or handicap hole as the tie breaker, Roen would have taken the gold. However, they sent them to sudden death, starting on hole one. Hole 1- both birdie, Hole 2- both bogey, Hole 3- both par, Hole 4- Roen bogeyed, Landry parred. It was an intense battle that has Roen hungry for another chance at beating Landry. It was also an absolute blast (and never-racking) to watch! I was so proud of Roen, because that type of golf takes some incredible mental game!

Remi doesn't dream of taking his golf to that next level. He truly plays for fun, but it is not what he wants to do all day, every day. With that being said, we aren't giving him quite the rigorous summer golf schedule that Roen has requested. We are putting him in enough tournaments to keep up his game, but letting him have time to enjoy summer in the ways that he loves too!

Day 1: 79

Day 2: 72
