I went through about a dozen good opportunities to break 80 and failed every time because I knew where I stood going down the stretch and threw up all over my Footjoys.
When I finally did it, it was during a match when I was focused on every shot and had no idea where I stood in relation to 80. I had a triple bogey on the front so breaking 80 was not something I thought was in the equation. Played the last 5 holes one under to shoot 78. I've broken 80 many times since, with a low of 75.

Yeah I went through the same thing. I chili dipped a wedge, had a 5 footer lip out etc before finally breaking 80 for the first time. I'm telling you that was the highlight of my golf "career". The 69/70 I shot back to back was simply a fluke but breaking 80 for the first time was hard earned and well deserved.
