The PGA Tour recently posted a video of a young girl standing outside the perimeter of the field. And one by one, as the golfers pass by her, she had a common question for them all – What’s your favorite drill?

Coming up first was Australian professional Jason Day. The golfer won the 2015 PGA Championship and has also been World No 1 in the past. However, when the little girl asked what his favorite drill was, Day crossed her query asking: In what? Like putting or hitting? And the girl responded, “Putting”. All of this was happening when other fans were quietly waiting in line and listening to the kid’s grown-up conversation!

“Probably speed drill,” Day replied. “You gotta have good speed to be a good putter. A lot of speed drills and you’ll be good.” Well, looks like the fan got something to learn from Day. And as it turned out by her next statement, she also had something very common with him! “My name’s Jason too,” the girl claimed.

Next up was America tour star Collin Morikawa, who is currently tied for 10th at the Farmers Insurance Open. The golf enthusiast had the same question for him too, however, his response was a lot different. ‘That’s a great one’, he said in response to the question. “I don’t like putting…I like to do speed drills, so maybe like 30 ft to 50 ft. And just go like 30, 35, 40, 45.”
