How about Rory Mcilroys amazing 62 on Sunday at the Quail Hollow Championship?  It was one of the best rounds I have seen played in a VERY long time.  The thing that impressed me most was that he took COMPLETE CONTROL of the tournament even after he had just tied for the lead.  He made sure to keep his great round rolling and to extend his lead.  He did that and wrapped the tournament up on the 16th hole with a great fairway bunker shot that resulted in a birdie.  Not bad for a kid who is just turning 21!  Not only did he beat a pretty solid field but he also beat a very tough golf course.

In his interview with Peter Kostis, Rory told Kostis that he didn’t have an idea of how many under par for the day or just how well he was playing.  All he was trying to do was keep hitting it close and making the lowest score possible.  What I like is that he had some idea as to how well he was playing but wasn’t sure of his score.

Next time you have a really good round going, be sure to keep the positive vibes going and not to think about your score.  The key is not to think about your score or that you’re playing your best round ever.  From my own PERSONAL experience and from watching others in this situation, I can honestly say that once a golfer starts thinking about what they have to shot over the last 4 or 5 holes, they’re DOOMED!  The reason is because they put too much energy into thinking about what they have to achieve rather then just continuing to do what they’re doing.  Simply focus on hitting good shots and staying positive and confident.  This will result in a solid finish over the last few holes and your career round!
