I'm here.

Anya Al Riz here, producer of Off the Looking Glass and it's getting crunch time.

I'm two weeks away for my qualifier for the US Open

and I forgot what it was like to have to be mentally tough on the course and have to bounce back from bad shots.

As of late over the last few years when I've played since I

to not lose. So I've learned that I am not as competitive as I once was.

And hopefully in a couple of weeks I will be standing on top of a podium with a win in hand because I believed I was a champion

before I stepped out onto the course. They don't really have podiums at these qualifiers. See you

next week.

Did you have any sort of techniques that you employed when you had like a bad game or missed a

shot that you were really frustrated with afterwards to try to like get your head back in it when you played
