He was gift wrapped it by the various Sunday CHOKES or collapses by 3 of the games biggest names and a 25 year old who lost control of his round very early own. I will say that I have watched McDowell closely for the last 8 years and I do think he is a great [...]

Mental Golf – Tunnel Vision
Posted by Jordan Caron on June 8th, 2010

In The Zone Golf
Posted by Jordan Caron on May 3rd, 2010
After watching Rory McIlory absolutely dust the field on Sunday at the Qual Hollow Championship, I asked myself if I had ever seen a better round played. A few come to mind from Tiger Woods but other then that, there aren’t many. David Duval shot a 13 under par 59 in the final round [...]
