2008 US Nationals – day 1 quick recap July 26, 2008
Posted by Hans in Tournament Results.trackback
I finished the first day with a record of 3 – 4. Not bad considering I haven’t studied in quite a while. I was just happy with the mental break from work. Tiger Woods is known to say that you "can’t win on the first day, but you can LOSE a tournament on the first day". I think that type of thinking applies here. I’m not in the best of shape, but there are still quite few games yet to be played.
The first few games were tough as I was not getting good tiles. In fact, I believe I played very well given the tiles I had – I just couldn’t keep up in the end. Nevertheless, tomorrow is another day.
Just a quick shout-out to a few top performers:
- Ben Lam: 6-1 in division 3
- Chris Bonin: 6-1 in division 4
