How Matt McCarty went from ‘getting ready’ to ‘being ready’ to win on the PGA Tour
Matt McCarty calls his longtime coach David Williams “The Guru,” a reference to his role as part swing instructor, part philosopher and life coach. They’ve been working together since McCarty was 12.
One eyar ago, McCarty, a 27-year-old Scottsdale, Arizona, native took one look at the lava-rock outcroppings at Black Desert Resort Golf Course in Ivins, Utah, and it reminded him so much of the desert-style courses he grew up on that he told his caddie, “I can win here.” McCarty opened with a 62 and held on for his first Tour title.
He’s back in Utah to defend. Get much more on the evolution of his game from Adam Schupak.
