Phil Mickelson came decisively to LIV Hong Kong, striving to regain his form and to make a success. Despite his age, the American golfer is motivated to succeed and dominate this controversial circuit. However, coming to LIV Golf, he did not particularly dominate.
After three shots under par in Hong Kong, Phil Mickelson got a huge motivation. The famous golfer spoke to the media about the mallet type putter, stressing that there are serious reasons for the change. Namely, Phil admitted that he grew up with it, placing a special emphasis on instinct.
“So it helps me get more instinctive, and it’s what I grew up with. I putt with more instinct rather than aim here, hit it here. So I kind of match up the speed,” Mickelson said, as quote by The Golfing Gazette.
Jon Yarbrough
An experienced golfer confirmed that Jon Yarbrough was an important link in this story, saying that he is very good with Aim Points. Yarbrough is a person who is very important to him, helping him in great ways. In the end, Phil is satisfied with the game, learning and aiming to transfer his good form to the following days.
“But Jon Yarbrough has really helped me because he is very good with AimPoint and tells me it’s a one, it’s a two, and then the grain is doing this, and if it’s going with it I’ll give a little more, if it’s going against I’ll give it a little less.
He’s really helped me on these greens to get a better visual of what the ball is going to do. These greens have always been challenging for me, and I feel like we got pretty dialed in. I made some good putts.”- he concluded.
Phil still believes that LIV is a great experience and an opportunity for many. There are several factors that make him enjoy this Tour, motivating him to write a great story.
