SITUATION 3
The Must-Save Bunker Play
In the sand, a little aggression goes a long way

When I Needed It

During my singles match against Paul Casey at the Ryder Cup, I had a really tough bunker shot with a very small landing area. Bunker shots are the easiest shots to hit under pressure because you can be aggressive with them. I was aggressive, and I made an important save to halve the hole.

How You Can Do It

When you're really feeling pressure, your arms get tight and you slow down. That's why a bunker shot is nice in pressure situations because you can be a little more aggressive through it. Try to keep your club and arms connected to your chest and blast through the sand using your turn. But be careful — don't let the club go faster than your hands. Stay aggressive with your turn so you don't get tight and slow down.
