Instead, his mission is to get to 7 under and then 8 under, etc. Players in the zone are able to ride a wave of momentum all the way to the clubhouse. Momentum in golf is confidence squared. It's the belief that you are playing well and you will continue to play well in the near future. Waite again found the momentum last week at the Bell Canadian Open.
Great players immerse themselves into the process of execution.
One of the characteristics of the zone is the ability to become immersed in the present moment on the shot at hand. Woods is a master at this. He could only execute that shot if he did not think ahead about what it was worth in the end if he successfully pulled it off. Results will take care of themselves with this approach. Whether you're shooting a career-low round or trying to win a golf tournament, emotions and excitement must be contained.
