Re: Long game is more important than short game
Just checking the round 2 results of the Race to Dubai this morning and see that Stenson shot -8 today to sit at the top.
Was reminded of his last round at the Tour Championships.
As you know, Henrik was rocking his 3-wood of the tee like nobody's business that week.
I forget what hole it was on the back 9 ( maybe 15 ), but it was 480 yards and Henrik reaches for an iron the tee shot.
I distinctly remember gasping "WOW !" when I saw him with an iron in his hand on the tee.
Of course he stripes that tee shot, leaving him 220-230 to the flag, another iron onto the green, 2-putt par, and "thank you very much".
That was sooo gutsy & impressive to me to have that kind of confidence & skill in your iron play.
