Player's Journal: The Long Road to Learning How to Win

Player's Journal: The Long Road to Learning How to Win

By Micheal Brennan & Shane Bacon

5 mins read

The Monday I won my first PGA Tour event, I was mistaken for a pro-am player.

Drag

I got the call Friday afternoon that I was in the Bank of Utah Championship. The resort at Black Desert is big and there is a lot of construction going on. My first Tour event (as a pro) so I really had no idea how registration went. I knew credentials would be different, so me and my caddie pull in in the same car. We ask as we get out, “Hey, we’re playing in the tournament, where do I go” and the volunteer thought I was playing in the Monday Pro-Am. So we went to the wrong parking lot, it took an hour and a half to get everything situated, but that is how the week started.

REELS

The first LPGA event of the season is underway, and some big names are already in the mix. @addie_parker breaks down the storylines to watch heading into the weekend.

Backing off is extremely overrated. Send that fly on its way. @deerap heads to Tallahassee to tee it up with the @fsumensgolf team in the latest episode of Skratch University. Watch now at the link in bio.

Remember the name: Angel Ayora “He has the potential from my perspective to be a world number 1.” 👀

No ankles were harmed in the making of this Tony Finau ace. 😂

Safe to say we’re all looking forward to Charley Hull’s mic’d up WTGL moments. 👀 Come play a hole with the three-time LPGA winner at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions.

Is this the best golf road trip on earth? Mac, Luke and Pete head to the North Island of New Zealand to tee it up at four iconic golf courses–Te Arai Golf Links, Kauri Cliffs, Cape Kidnappers and Royal Auckland. Watch the full episode of Working Holiday now at the link in bio.

Good vibes, great players and a whole lot of style. @addie_parker catches up with former NFL wide receiver @victorcruz at the @lpga_tour Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions.

We could watch this guy play golf all day. Come play a hole with @knapptime_ltd at Torrey Pines.

Welcome back, @bkoepka!

The LPGA players who are joining WTGL are looking forward to more team golf and a bit of banter. 👀 @addie_parker checks in from Day 2 of the @lpga_tour Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions.

How far is this ball going with modern technology? Throwback to Tiger trying to drive the green at Torrey.

“Like watching Bernini sculpt!” Come play a hole with @jasondayofficial.

Love him or hate him, it’s good to have Patrick “be the number” Reed back on TOUR.

*Patrick racing back to the PGA TOUR* Throwback to his ace and race at the 2015 Houston Open. 🤣

Patrick Reed is returning to the PGA TOUR. Here’s everything you need to know.
