He said, “Yeah, like when you’re forcing it? You know, I think you get a little bit out of sync on the greens, mostly, you know, you just and you sort of plan a little bit more aggressive than what you do, your strategy is a little bit different. But you know you’ve got to let it happen, not make it happen.”

He added, “And he and you know, he knew that was possibly going to be the last time that his father would see him play the major championship, and he just sort of instead of trying to let it happen, he’s trying to make it happen. So making some, you know, uncharacteristically bold errors.”
