Sometimes, it's best to just put a pin in it and forget about it.
It's likely the best thing that Seamus Power could do after his weekend in Florida. The Arnold Palmer Invitational did not go how he would have liked, and probably the only positive to take from the weekend is that he made the cut - and even that was a close call.
Seamus squeaked in by a single shot on Saturday morning to face the third round from +2. Greg Koch did him a favour when he was finishing out his second round on Saturday. The American did not pull off a miraculous closing score which would have shifted the leaderboard, and Seamus was able to see out the full weekend.
Really, that is as good as it got.
The result has seen him drop two places in the world rankings, down to 30th.
His opening round on Thursday was ultimately his best offering over the four days when he shot a level par 72. The scoring would slip by two shots each day, with an eventual +6 on Sunday for a closing 78, failing to make a birdie across the 18.
It could have been worse, however. He did make the cut and likely once he knew he was out the back of the pack, he and his caddy were trying to experiment when there was little to no pressure left on their shoulders.
Finding out what went wrong will be all the more important ahead this coming weekend when Seamus makes the short trip North to Jacksonville.
The Players Championship - the unofficial "fifth major" - kicks off this Thursday, with the "best of the best" turning up to TPC Sawgrass.
Also underway on Thursday, but on the opposite side of the globe, is the Magical Kenyan Open.
Gary Hurley has had a mixed start to life on the DP World Tour in 2023 with three missed cuts in four outings. His last competition - Hero Indian Open - was the third cut missed, but a week prior to that he finished out the Thailand Classic for a T66 result.
While temperatures may be set to take a dip in Waterford this week, nothing could be further from the truth in Nairobi. Hurley is going to be dealing with averages of 28-30 degrees with little to no wind to speak of.
The par-71 course undulates up and down around man-made lakes on the edge of the Karura forest with players spending most of their time getting up and over the scattered obstacles.
With events this weekend on the PGA Tour, Asian Tour and Sunshine Tour, it could well provide Hurley with a chance to make hay when the sun shines with plenty of the big hitters occupied elsewhere.
