Masters Play-off ends with research participants friendship
In 2011, Sergio Garcia* and Justin Rose were part, among many others, of my quest putting research: "Better Understanding Perception, Distances and Goals" Last night, they ended head to head in a memorable Europe Battle with Seve's 60th birthday inspiration that turned the crowed Spanish.
As the whole social media world was debating for a Sergio or Justin first Masters win, I was predicting/hoping for a dramatic Play-off. And dramatic it was! Unfortunately for me this Drama could not be lived in a cheering local Sports Bar as I was stuck in my Dubai flat obligate to drink, next to my toilette, extensive "Klean-Prep" to get ready for a "Colonscopie" routine, above 50 years old, check up recommendation. (I am ok now!).
Thanks to the latest tech from Masters.com Track Solution, I could once again get valuable datas to convert and benchmark the "Duel" Sergio/Justin! Once again, those datas showed me that at the "last stretch" putting made the "Difference". Despite Sergio "SwingScore" avg was 2 shots higher then Justin, but his zone4 putting performance (11%In) combine with a super wedge par saver to 7feet at the 13th Sunday for hope to his long waited "Masters" Jacket. Note: (Justin missed 6feet birdie on 13th and 7feet par on 17th).
Until next time > #IamCaddiePlayer #LessDramaMoreBirdies, Stéphane in Dubai this week with MenaTOUR CaddiePlayerDavide, from Switzerland, preparing for his next duel.
Quotes:
Sergio Garcia," Believe in yourself. Today I felt a calmness I never felt at a major on Sunday. Not letting things get to me that used to get to me has been a big step forward. "
Justin Rose, " At the end of the day your going to win majors and your going to lose majors, but you have to
be willing to lose them. I loved it out there. I felt cool, calm and collected. Could I have made the putt on 1, of course, but I am not going if to second guess one or two shots. I felt positive. I felt confident. "
