Rose two-putted the playoff hole for par and the victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Caddie Mark Fulcher informed Rose he was tied for the lead and let go of his past shots. Rose regained his poise and focused on sinking his putt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;So everything else was forgotten at that point [his water shot]. I wiped the slate clean and just focused on my putt on 18,&#8221; Rose said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rose focused on his strengths even though he had difficulties with parts of his game throughout the tournament:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I had to rely on different parts of my game all week. Thursday I just really struggled and then had to dig deep mentally on the back nine, and Friday I putted much better. Saturday, I hit the driver really, really well. Today I struggled off the tee. And you know, I had to find a different way to get it done today&#8230; today was a bit more of grinding it out.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fulcher advised Rose to <strong>focus<\/strong> on his game and not on his opponent during the playoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;ve just got to play the hole, play the course. You can&#8217;t really get too much into playing the man,&#8221; said Fulcher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Try_these_tips_to_improve_your_focus_during_critical_shots%E2%80%A6\"><\/span>Try these tips to improve your focus during critical shots&#8230;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Let go of the last shot or hole quickly&#8230; The past no longer matters because you can&#8217;t change it. The great thing about golf is that you can still recover and shoot a good score despite some bad shots.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Focus on what&#8217;s relevant to execution. This starts with awareness of what you want to focus on for each shot or putt. When you realize your focus is drifting off your preshot routine, refocus or restart your routine altogether.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><strong><strong>Improve your mental toughness with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/hockey-mental-coaching\/\">one-on-one mental coaching with Dr. Cohn<\/a>.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-979ef383-5bc7-43ee-b8f9-249663ca1a6c\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_Sports_Psychology_Articles\"><\/span>Related Sports Psychology Articles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul id=\"block-05642731-8752-4dbf-9c18-5cc4d276e821\" class=\"wp-block-list has-normal-font-size\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/how-to-perform-under-pressure-with-confidence\/\"><strong>How to Perform Under Pressure with Confidence\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/how-to-compete-well-in-pressure-moments\/\"><strong>How to Compete Well in Pressure Moments<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/how-to-perform-big-in-pressure-moments\/\"><strong>How to Perform Big in Pressure Moments<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\" id=\"block-5726d13f-f715-4ca4-8813-2f8a9ebd8bc3\">*Subscribe to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/sports-psychology-podcast-by-peaksports-com\/id152566009\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>The Sports Psychology Podcast<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0on iTunes<br>*Subscribe to <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/0ynyaalKxbnNmsoeL8gF5X?si=8224669de9b3435b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>The Sports Psychology Podcast<\/strong><\/a> on Spotify<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\" id=\"block-281f5afb-980b-4c71-9aa0-11d606b5f7c9\"><strong>Download a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/mental-toughness-report-athletes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">free sports psychology report<\/a>&nbsp;to improve your mental game!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\" id=\"block-94138e75-d591-4645-bb1d-212cf57a8841\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sport-psychology-training-athletes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more about our one-on-one mental game coaching.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Golfers_Mental_Edge\"><\/span>Golfer&#8217;s Mental Edge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/golfers-mental-edge20.jpg\" alt=\"Golf Psychology CD\" class=\"wp-image-4169\" style=\"width:228px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s the <em>big sign<\/em> that <strong>your mental game is the weak link<\/strong> in your golf game?
