Or was it all three? Without understanding why we’re missing putts, we often misdiagnose our putting struggles as technical Read more…
In almost every culture on earth, holes-in-one are celebrated. Golfers wait their entire lives in anticipation of an elusive ace, and when one finally drops, it’s a joyous occasion.

With the 10, Korda dropped to eight-over par, playing two-over-par golf the rest of the round to card a 10-over 80. Only four players have returned higher scores for the day.
There are few players in golf who think more about data than Matt Fitzpatrick. He’s been manually tracking every shot he’s hit since his college—and used that data to squeeze every bit of juice out of his game ever since. He’s been wildly successful doing so.
