I want to thank everyone who gave me your support and well wishes. I was hoping I could play better and give you all something to look forward to watching on TV. This was a great experience and a once in a lifetime opportunity.
I can't say it was easy. I started off very strong by winning the first stage but living out in Japan never felt at home. Although it was a rough trip, it is still incredibly difficult to throw in the towel. But back to reality, I must find a job and get back to work.
Total costs of this trip: Approx. $10,000. Yes....OUCH.
Anyway, I'll see you all back in the states. Maybe I'll see some of you on the links.
Thank you all very much.

Round 1: 74 (+2) [Leader at -8] (Currently tied for 52nd)
Round 2: 74 (+4) [Leader at -13] (Currently tied for 60th)
The typhoon has arrived. We may not get a chance to finish. =(
Round 3: 81 (+13) WITHDRAW
Round 4: XX
Total: XX
Cut: Top 30 players (Cut currently at -2)
Wow, I had an incredibly dreadful event. My last round only had 3 REEEAALLY bad holes. Otherwise I was 2-under. I'm exhausted, stressed out, and I sprained my ankle. It was a pretty wet, sideways rain, windy day with this typhoon coming in. I sliced my ball into the sherwood forest and unfortunately, I found it. Amazingly, I got the ball out but my clumsy butt didn't make it out as clean. Slipped on a muddy hillside and was saved by a tree. The ankle's tender and swollen but its nothing bad. Just a small sprain. I can't swing well enough with this ankle, I'm no where near contention to make the cut, and I've been told that the likelihood that tomorrow's round will be canceled because of the typhoon is 90%. So I decided to withdraw from the event.
It's a disappointing finish but I'm happy to be coming home. On a bright note, if I were to attempt this again, I'm allowed to start from Stage 2 next year.
