ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
There's a reason pressure feels different for 220 million Brazilians hoping their team advances in the World Cup than it does for 5.5 million Norwegians who are just thrilled to be on the pitch. Pressure isn't the same for everyone — and this week on the PGA Tour, we watched that exact dynamic play out on a golf course.
Chris Gotterup teed off six groups back at the John Deere Classic with basically nothing to lose. He went bogey-free for a 62 and walked away with the trophy. Meanwhile, the two guys who'd carried the lead all week — Lucas Glover and Lee Hodges — played it safe, made pars, and watched the win slip away. Same golf course. Same conditions. Completely different pressure, completely different swings.
Then it's this week's Improvement Pivot Point — why protecting a lead physically changes your motion before your brain even registers you're nervous, and what that means for your own game the next time you're standing over a putt that matters. The fix? Stop protecting. Attack it instead.
