Congratulations, great win great golf…
Something that always sticks with me is this, if the world wars had never happened, the chances are I wouldn’t be typing this and you wouldn’t be reading it. History turns on mistakes and detours as much as on moments of brilliance.
The same applies to golf. That double bogey on the 10th was a mistake, but there’s no guarantee that without it Freddie Schott would have gone on to win. Change one shot and everything that follows changes too, momentum, decisions, pressure. I played an individual sport at international level, and I won plenty of matches while playing badly. Often it dragged my opponent into playing poorly as well, and by the time I found my rhythm, they couldn’t recover theirs. Schott’s back nine showed that winning isn’t always about perfection. Sometimes it’s about staying in it, adapting, and being the one who figures it out when it matters most. Well battled Freddie, that one brought back memories as he was mentally hanging by a thread.
Great coverage as always, thank you.
