Osland, who was slowed by injury for several weeks earlier this summer, would like to see more consistency in her game.
鈥淢y season this year on the Symetra Tour has been a bit up and down,鈥� Osland said. 鈥淯nfortunately, I missed a few events mid-season due to a minor back injury but I am back competing on the tour and hoping to finish the year strong.鈥�
As for the finer points of her game, Osland believes she鈥檚 not far off from putting it all together.
鈥淚 have been working hard on all aspects of my game, but right now my short game feels the most solid,鈥� she said. 鈥淚 am trying to improve a few things in my swing right now so I have been focusing a lot on that.鈥�
This weekend, Osland is in Battle Creek, Michigan for the Symetra Tour鈥檚 FireKeepers Casino Hotel Championship.
