It wasn’t until the 7th hole that he settled in. His jacket was soaked so he took that off & really loosened up. Body language improved as did his energy level & focus. Drove the ball really well from then on. Honestly thought he was considering giving up & mailing it in. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☔️" title="Regenschirm mit Regentropfen" aria-label="Emoji: Regenschirm mit Regentropfen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⛳️" title="Golffahne" aria-label="Emoji: Golffahne">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏌🏼‍♂️" title="Golfspieler (mittelheller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Golfspieler (mittelheller Hautton)">

The wind picked up big time on the back which added to the brutal conditions. You could see the flag whipping in this video. When Ant is focused & on his game he thinks he can make everything, which I love. The hop at the end let’s you know he wants it lol https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen"> https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⛳️" title="Golffahne" aria-label="Emoji: Golffahne">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏌🏼‍♂️" title="Golfspieler (mittelheller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Golfspieler (mittelheller Hautton)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☔️" title="Regenschirm mit Regentropfen" aria-label="Emoji: Regenschirm mit Regentropfen"> – bei The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort

He failed to cross the river on #2 going out (further up on this thread) but had no trouble coming in on #16.

This miss on the 17th approach was a heart breaker https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💔" title="Gebrochenes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Gebrochenes Herz">. He hit a great drive & had a 7 iron to this flag. He was hitting his irons so good & he was so confident standing over the ball. You could see how crushed he is by his reaction. He wanted it bad. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏌🏼‍♂️" title="Golfspieler (mittelheller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Golfspieler (mittelheller Hautton)"> – bei The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort

But resilience hasn’t always been Ant’s strong suit so seeing him bounce back after that bad miss on 17 and crush his drive here on 18 & close out strong was very positive. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☔️" title="Regenschirm mit Regentropfen" aria-label="Emoji: Regenschirm mit Regentropfen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⛳️" title="Golffahne" aria-label="Emoji: Golffahne">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏌🏼‍♂️" title="Golfspieler (mittelheller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Golfspieler (mittelheller Hautton)"> – bei The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort
