Congratulations to Jeff Maggert for his exciting win at the Charles Schwab Cup Championship. Jeff is from The Woodlands, TX, and I met him while I was the head professional at the TPC at The Woodlands during the 1990's. We played a few rounds together during my time there and he is a class act!
The reason I posted this video is for my students that compete in tournaments. None of us has a crystal ball and can predict what is going to happen next on the golf course. All we can control as players is to have a consistent process of hitting a shot. In other words, you cannot worry about the outcome of each shot. You simply go through your pre shot routine for each shot at hand and execute.
It also works both ways. If you bogey the first hole, it doesn't mean you are going to have a bad day. If you birdie the first hole, it doesn't mean you are going to play great. All we can do is take each shot for what it is.
In Jeff's case, this was the third playoff hole. Reteif Goosen had already put his second shot on the green for a makeable birdie putt. Jeff went through his process and executed the shot right into the cup!
So for all my tournament players, never give up, because you just don't what will happen next.
