Below are a few highlights, and you can watch the full interview at the bottom of this post:
On his career-low round (63)…
“What’s crazy is it should’ve been 61. I was hitting the ball everywhere but making putts. I made an eagle on a par-4. It was just one of those rounds where I didn’t worry about anything except stepping up and hitting the ball.”
On limiting on-course expectations…
“I think we’re happier in life if we limit our expectations. Because we think we’re supposed to do something and when it doesn’t happen, we get disappointed. As a good golfer, you expect to hit the ball in the fairway, on the green and make the putt. But the minute you make that par, you think, Man, that should’ve been a birdie. If you manage expectations and start with a lower, more attainable bar, that’s where I’ve found you start shooting lower scores.”
