Even though we can't require it, most guys compete and play in tournaments over Christmas on their own. |
It is really a thin line, and it's that way every tournament, the difference between finishing third place and sometimes even ninth or 10th. Ten shots, which sounds like a lot, but when you are talking about five guys over three days, you're talking about less than a shot a round. It is razor thin. |
The most important reason for working out is for mental reasons. When you get tired physically, you start making poor decisions mentally. It's very important to be in shape in order to avoid those mental mistakes. |

You have to position the ball underneath the holes, because the greens are really quick and really good. In order to take advantage of this course, you have to be able to putt aggressive and that means keeping the ball underneath the hole and having uphill putts where you can stay aggressive all the way throughout a round. |
