Gary Hurley's diary: I'm disappointed more than anything else

I was pretty gutted after the first round and when I was three over after my front nine yesterday, I accepted I wasn’t going to make the cut. Everything would have had to go my way on the back nine to scrape in.

When it’s really, really windy and it starts to pelt down rain on undulating greens, it’s hard to solider on. I’ll sit down, analyse it and try to get some positives from it over the weekend. The way I feel now, I’m disappointed more than anything else. It’s always nice to play well when you’ve home support following you.

It can be very lonely at times when you’re away by yourself and you’re not playing great. At least this week there’s people around me, friends and family, that care about me. If I don’t play great, it’s not going to change who I am to them.
