Billy Horschel Turns Season Around with One Important Word

Billy Horschel’s golf game was struggling. He had missed the cut in three of his first four starts of the season and was in danger of missing the Masters.

But then he had a breakthrough. He realized that he was trying too hard to be perfect, and that he needed to focus on just playing his own game.

“I just had to simplify things,” Horschel said. “I just had to go out there and play my game and not try to be somebody else.”

The results have been remarkable. Since making that change, Horschel has won two tournaments and finished in the top 10 in four of his last five starts.

“It’s a big relief,” Horschel said. “I’ve been working hard for this, and it’s finally starting to pay off.”
