Aloha from Reno,

I never thought I'd be writing this postcard, but here I am.

I made the last-minute decision to come to Reno to play this week and I feel absolutely great. This is actually my sixth week in a row playing, but I came to the decision earlier this week that I wanted to stay out here on the PGA Tour and get my game into the best shape possible. Sometimes, after just a few weeks, your body tells you that it's time to take a week or two off.

For me, this week was supposed to be a relaxing week in Arizona. Instead, after a really nice week in Canada at the Canadian Open, I flew back to Arizona on Sunday night thinking that I would be off this week. At the last minute, I changed my mind and flew up here to Reno yesterday, where I checked into the tournament, played in the pro-am, and am now getting ready to tee off this morning!

It's rare that I do something like this (enter a tournament at the last moment), but this is part of the process I have learned since joining the PGA Tour 18 months ago. Your body tells you if you can play, and my body told me earlier this week that I was feeling good and that's why I'm here in Reno. Plus, as many of you know, I love playing on the West Coast.

Michelle Wie is here and we're already talking about grabbing dinner together this week. I would have played a practice round with her on Tuesday, but I had yet to arrive at the golf course! I'm still hoping that I'll have the opportunity to be paired with her on the weekend. Would anyone be interested in a final pairing this week of myself and Michelle? That would get the TV ratings up in Hawai'i!

I look forward to talking to you next week, when I recap my experiences in Reno. And, of course, I'll recap my dinner with my wife and Michelle.

Mahalo,

Parker
