Besides fascinating his fans with his martial art prowess, Bruce Lee also impacted the world with his philosophies on life. From common people to celebrities, everybody has applied the master’s ideologies in their challenging situations. In fact, many renowned athletes from various sports like boxing, MMA, and NBA have shared how Lee’s philosophies have effectively worked for them. Recently, golfer Tony Finau also mentioned a lesson he learned from Bruce Lee. 

On May 2, Bruce Lee’s memoir Instagram page proudly shared an article about golfer Tony Finau. It was an interview with the PGA Tour, where the golfer explained that he brought a significant change in his gameplay by following one of Lee’s popular quotes. 

What Tony Finau changed after getting inspired by Bruce Lee

In the latest PGA Tour article shared on Lee’s Instagram story, Finau revealed that he changed one particular aspect of his gameplay. Before 2022, Finau was experiencing a string of average performances. After losing every championship, the 33-year-old would change his putting technique and overall playing style. Even after modifying himself with so many changes, Finau hardly claimed any wins. 

However, at one point, he realized that maybe changing several things about his gameplay was blocking him from performing well. Hence, he decided to work only on his putting technique. So, for one whole season in 2022, he stuck to putting conventionally and that, changed his entire career.

When asked in the interview about what inspired him, Finau told, that it is better to perfect one trick “ than tinker around with 10,000 different techniques.” He added, “I think Bruce Lee has a saying about something like that.” He tried to recall the master’s saying, “He’s more scared of the guy who practices one punch 10,000 times than someone who practices 10,000 things one time. I’d say I agree with that.”
