Continuing his exclusive column for Golf News, DP World Tour player Dan Bradbury finds that a few costly errors at the wrong time are continuing to frustrate him, but a top-10 finish at the KLM Open will hopefully kickstart a change in fortunes as the busy summer schedule gets into full swing<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

I\u2019s funny how golf gives you the highest highs and the lowest lows, sometimes within the same hole. That\u2019s just the nature of it \u2013 small margins make big differences. And that was never clearer to me than it was at the Turkish Airlines Open, my first tournament back after five weeks away from competitive action. .<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Turkey was a lovely place, and we had a great week. The golf course was in immaculate condition \u2013 really well set up. There was a good mix of tough, strong par-fours and some risk- reward par-fives, which I loved. But my game? It didn\u2019t quite show up the way I wanted.<\/p>\n

NEAR MISS<\/h3>\n

I shot one-under the first round, which wasn\u2019t bad. The second round, though, I had morning conditions \u2013 easier than the first day\u2019s afternoon slot \u2013 and I just didn\u2019t take advantage of it early. I played solid on the back nine, gave myself a lot of chances, but just couldn\u2019t convert. And then came the final hole, which I\u2019ll remember for a while.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

We finished on the 10th hole that week due to the two-tee start. Normally a par five, it was playing as a 500-yard par four. Water all down the left, trees on the right, and water short of the green. The pin was tucked left, so missing it left was dead, and long was no good either. I hit a perfect drive and left myself 200 yards in over water into that tucked pin. I knew a par would likely make the cut. Bogey maybe still had a chance. Double, and I was definitely out.<\/p>\n

So, I played safe \u2014 aimed for the middle of the green with a 6-iron, hit a decent shot that just caught the wrong ridge, and ended up with a 45-foot putt. I rolled it too hard, left myself seven or eight feet coming back, and missed. Bogey. Missed the cut by one.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

It\u2019s always tough when you\u2019re watching the cutline shift all afternoon. You\u2019ve just got to sit and wait. But that\u2019s the game. The two-tee starts we get every week on the DP World Tour mean that depending on your start, you might finish on a brutal hole or a gettable one. In Turkey, the 10th was a beast to finish on. Other places, like Singapore, the ninth is the tough one, and the 18th is reachable. It adds a layer of complexity, especially when you\u2019re grinding on the cutline.<\/p>\n

TIME WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY<\/h3>\n

Prior to teeing it up in Turkey I had a month off the tour and spent some time back home working on my game and catching up with friends and family. I also went on a golf trip to Portugal with a few mates. Playing golf with friends definitely reminds me why I fell in love with the game in the first place. It\u2019s different, of course. I\u2019m still competitive \u2013 bad shots still annoy me \u2013 but I don\u2019t second-guess myself as much. I get the number, pick the club, hit the shot. There\u2019s no overthinking. And sometimes I wish I could take that simplicity into tournaments.<\/p>\n

\n

After that trip I had some sponsor commitments in London, including a round at Windlesham Golf Club in Surrey with the guys at MASHIE GOLF<\/a>, which offers organised events at top venues throughout the UK. After that I managed to squeeze in a game at Royal St George\u2019s, which was dry, firm, and breezy, but still one of the best courses I\u2019ve ever played.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

In my amateur days, everything was links golf, but funnily enough, I\u2019ve never really had my best<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

results on links courses. I love them, and think links is the purest form of golf, but something about the greens \u2014 the subtle breaks, the flatness, the lighter grass \u2014 throws me off.<\/p>\n

I drive it straight, pace putt well, but I struggle to read links greens sometimes.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

We don\u2019t get to play much links golf on the DP World Tour \u2013 which is perhaps no bad thing given
\nmy results on them \u2013 but I\u2019m looking forward to the Scottish swing, with the Scottish Open
\nat Renaissance, and especially the new tournament, the Scottish Championship, which is being held
\nat Trump International near Aberdeen. I\u2019ve not played it before, but it looks like an exciting course.<\/p>\n

US OPEN QUALIFYING<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

With a break in the DP World Tour schedule caused by the PGA Championship, I took the opportunity to play in US Open qualifying at Walton Heath a couple of weeks ago.<\/p>\n

Walton has been good to me in the past \u2014 some of my best amateur results came there. I played solidly. Three birdies and three bogeys over 36 holes, but that\u2019s not enough in a qualifier. I was level-par, but it took seven-under to make the top eight. Sometimes, that\u2019s the way it goes. I didn\u2019t play badly, just not well enough.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

Qualifying for The Open itself is something I\u2019m undecided on. The R&A moved final qualifying to a Tuesday, which makes it almost impossible for tour players to manage with the travel involved.<\/p>\n

If it was still on a Monday, I\u2019d be in. But with a Sunday finish in Italy, travel on Monday, 36 holes on Tuesday, then off to Munich for the BMW International on Wednesday \u2014 it\u2019s just not viable. Especially not when you factor in the costs. Between flights, caddie expenses, and accommodation, you\u2019re looking at nearly \u00a32,000.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s tough to swallow when you see Open spots given to winners of obscure events in far-off places where some players have little genuine interest in The Open. Meanwhile, national champions like the Spanish or French Open winners don\u2019t get in. I won the French Open last year and finished 30th in the DP World Tour Rankings, which would traditionally have got me an Open spot, but now it\u2019s just the top 25, so I still didn\u2019t get a spot. It doesn\u2019t feel right.<\/p>\n

GAME GETTING CLOSER<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

The Soudal Open in Belgium was tough. My Thursday round was the worst I\u2019ve had in a long time \u2014 just nothing was working. Prep was fine, but when Thursday came, I had no control, no confidence. The ball wasn\u2019t going where I wanted it. I knew I needed something special on Friday
\nto make the cut\u2014 six-under or better \u2014 and when I missed a few chances early, that was that.<\/p>\n

But I didn\u2019t give up. I still tried to take the positives \u2013 my short game was solid and my putting felt okay. After missing the cut, I had a good session with my coach. Sent some videos over, got some feedback. Turns out a few old habits had crept back into the swing. Not ideal, but fixable.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Statistically, I usually gain off the tee and on approach. Lately, I haven\u2019t. I\u2019ve been hitting greens, just not close enough. Short game has improved, putting\u2019s been okay \u2014 but not great. Still, I know my game is close. I\u2019ve missed seven cuts this year by one shot, including at the Austrian Alpine Open, where I finished tied 67th on level par, with those on -1 under making the cut. Those are the fine margins we\u2019re dealing with, but the Belgium round was the first time I really wasn\u2019t in it.<\/p>\n

ALL CHANGE AT KLM<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Thankfully, things turned around at the following week\u2019s KLM Open in The Netherlands, where a top-10 finish has provided me a bit of positive momentum. I got off to a really good start, holing a few early putts to go three under after eight holes, but I gave all those shots back around the turn, and then kind of hung in there to be one-over for the first round. It was pretty windy for the second round \u2013 gusting 40mph\u00a0and it was just a case of limiting the damage and hoping everyone else was finding scoring
\nas tough as I was.<\/p>\n

Thankfully that proved the case and my +3 total for 36 holes was two shots inside the cut mark. I played pretty solidly over the weekend, shooting 71 on Saturday and then fired a 66 on Sunday to move 40 spots up the leaderboard on the final day into a share of seventh. They were tough scoring conditions, so I\u2019m proud of how I dug deep over the those closing holes and got the best possible result out of what was a difficult week.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

With so many tournaments in Europe over such a short period of time, I decided to drive my own car between events, rather than flying back and forth. It\u2019s been a 3,000-mile-plus road trip through some amazing countryside and I really enjoyed having my feet on ground. Compared
\nto flying \u2013 packing bags, checking clubs, airport stress \u2013 driving\u2019s a dream.<\/p>\n

Right now, I\u2019m having a couple of weeks off before playing the Italian Open, the BMW International in Germany, and the Scottish Open. It\u2019s a busy stretch, but they\u2019re all relatively close together, so there\u2019s less travel stress and hopefully they\u2019ll bring some better results.<\/p>\n
