It's funny, I play well under pressure in tourneys, (for the most part). HAHA. But my biggest goal is to shoot under par and I have been very close 5 or 6 times in the past year and haven't finished a single one strong. Yet I finish strong quite often to make a average round better. I have won tourneys before, but have never shot under par, so I am openly wondering if I put too much pressure on myself to finally do it after 20 years of golf. My low round last year was 76, and I should have finished that round better too. Fatigue is and interesting thought. I am a big dude.

You are probably too 'aware' of your goal and the end result, rather than focusing on the next part in the process. That might be why you finish so-so rounds strong as well - your "ultimate" goal is out of reach so you relax and try to make the best of the day, not thinking about what you "have to do". You're focusing on what you can do.
