One small tweak can lead to everything clicking. But is wasn&#8217;t easy this year&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cI feel like all year, I would take a step forward, two steps back, three steps forward, step back. I&#8217;ve been just kind of like in limbo,\u201d <\/em>Walker said.<em> \u201cBut I felt like last week, I saw something. It felt good. We worked on a knee move. Working on my overall attitude on the <strong>golf<\/strong> course. \u2026 I knew it was close.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Playing <strong>relaxed<\/strong> when you have a chance to win is not as easy as it looks for Tour Pros. In addition, at the PGA Championship, they had to battle rain delays and playing 36 holes on Saturday to stay on schedule\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Sometimes things just don\u2019t come easy,\u201d<\/em> Walker said about playing 36 holes because of a weather delay Saturday. <em>\u201cSometimes pars are hard but we got that one. There\u2019s a lot of <strong>emotion<\/strong> going on out there, I\u2019m not going to lie to you. It was a battle all day long. There was nothing easy about the day, really about the week, for that matter, especially coming down the last hole.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking <strong>calm<\/strong> on the outside and feeling <strong>calm<\/strong> on the inside are two different things. When Walker was asked after the final round about looking calm on the outside, he responded that one of his objectives was to stay <strong>calm<\/strong>, but often you can\u2019t see what going on the inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cThat&#8217;s great. I&#8217;m glad you guys think I &#8212; thought I looked calm,\u201d<\/em> Walker said. <em>\u201cThat&#8217;s huge. Because that&#8217;s what I was going for. I felt <strong>confident<\/strong>. I felt <strong>confident<\/strong> in myself. I felt <strong>confident<\/strong> in what I was doing. Felt <strong>confident<\/strong> in my golf swing, my putting, my chipping. Kind of tried to wrap myself around that; that everything was feeling good, and to go with that and trust what I was doing.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What the one <strong>mental<\/strong> <strong>key<\/strong> that helped Walker win his first major? Was it staying <strong>calm<\/strong>? <strong>Focusing<\/strong> on his <strong>mental<\/strong> <strong>game<\/strong> more? Making a small tweak with his instructor? Or a combination of these?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A big key was his ability to <em>\u201c<strong>trust<\/strong> all the stuff that I have been working on, and that&#8217;s what I tried to apply out there,\u201d<\/em> said Walker. <em>\u201cI know I made nine pars in a row to start, and I hit a lot of quality golf shots. Hit a lot of greens today.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/the-fearless-athlete-cd-program\/\">How do you trust what you&#8217;re working on?<\/a> Play your bread-and-butter shot on the golf course and keep it simple!<\/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?
