Start letting it go.

Its unpresedent to imagine that a small part of the UK has produced 3 major winners in the past 5 majors played. We all knew that Rors win at Congressional was pretty special, not forgetting GMac's winner either, but Darren Clarke has to be the unlikeliest of winners in a few years.
You've got to hand it to him though, it was a true champions performance. Tee to green was as good as it needed to be but around and on the greens is were Clarke stood out.
What's really interesting is that their was one man that won't get the praise in front of the thousands, although Clarke did say thank you in his acceptance speech,  and that is the well known Dr. Bob Rotella. Well known amongst pro's to have help more than 50 majors be won and author of some of the best selling psychology books on the market. I've had to read them, and the great stories that he shares with you are some of the most interesting that you'll wonder how anyone manages to get that silly ball into the bottom of the hole.

In an interview done for the BBC in the UK he's reflects on the conversation and explains quite openly what he and Clarke spoke about in the days runnign up to the final round. Wait for the key phrase...'he did a great job of letting them go' letting what go you may ask. Well listen and start letting it go.
