He will feel as though maybe there was a chance gone missing there, but another great showing.

It may be easy and obvious for me to say this as a European, but

Boy, isn't it great to see them going over to America and winning their biggest tournaments, and you know that will be doing the heads-in of the top American players.

Yeah, and I think this goes to the efficacy of doing this in the college programs and how beautifully it's working for players.

Because if you can get used to doing that at a fairly young age, then you can get to your mid-20s and learn to control it.

And that's when you start to see excellent performance, because it needs to be controlled.

I do think, though Alex is doing it, Scotty, Matt...

ludwig does it it still there's an element of control in there it's not 100 all guns blazing but it's coming from a place where i've trained speed so i know it's in the tank i mean i for example would be the opposite of that you know and that's where i would struggle going up against these guys frankly because i've never trained speed so it's it's a skill in and of itself and takes time but you've got to be probably careful at what point in your life and career development that you do it

I would say you've got potential speed in there because you've got big quads on you.

Well, I'll tell you one thing.

Nick commented on this.

I was hitting my iron such a long way last week.

Oh, my goodness.

I mean, you talk about trapping it, flushing it, trapping it, these seven iron going 200 yards at a canter.

But that's the way I use speed.

I would load the club, get a bit narrow, and then it delivers at the ball, whereas it doesn't work that way for the driver, and I don't use my...

the ground reaction, although I am getting plenty of holes in the socks.

I had to dispose of three pairs of socks last week because the left big toe hole is just poking through there.

So good signs, good signs.

Indeed, I mean, I ordered 12 pairs last night, but I haven't got a bunion.
