"He was touring and living out of his Prius last year... I'm guessing the last few months and starting this year have been a bit more comfortable."

Seems like a humble guy. I hope he has a long promising career. Dude's good for the sport in many ways.

 

[roblee]

His putting ..jeeze!

 

[elmexdela]

who does he keep waving to after most hole outs lol

The fans, i always wave at the fans after i hit a good putt or have a good shot.

Ezra wasn't as consistent this weekend, but still finished 22nd. He looks primed for a strong season. His busmate had a pretty good tourney finishing second!

 

[Shankapotamus]

Ezra not having a good weekend in Belton. He is really struggling with his putts. Maybe it's just the wind.

 

[BogeyNoMore]

Gotta be so embarrassing when you struggle with your putz. :\

 

[jdm0514]

To me and I'm no expert but from the coverage at Belton his putting routine seem rushed. Miot of his first round putts were only off by a inch.

 

[BrotherDave]

It's hard to tell when he's rushing his putts because he's a quick player in general. He has a very aggressive putting style so his hot days are really hot and his cold days are really cold. Round 1 at Belton definitely looked like a glacier.

trying to think of the last time I saw any pro look *that* off. maybe some random nikko round, or somebody else that can get in their own head like philo

Shoestrings putter went bye bye. You don't member dat?

 

[DiscFifty]

He's still fairly new to elite level play. It's been a roller coaster 1.5 years. It may take another year or two to see his mental and physical state come together more consistently.

good point, i moreso meant i couldn't remember one specific round where somebody who i would normally expect to make most everything inside 25 looked so bad. but as soon as you mentioned shoestrings it reminded me of a couple rounds in particular so you are probably doubly right

Eagle at Waco?

 

[oldmandiscer]

Eagle at Waco?

Eagle at Waco is what I was going to say as well. If you watch his vlogs he was recently rated as the best player in the world prior to that event, only to come out and shoot 990 for the fist two rounds which for him was terrible.

Putting wasn't as poor as Ezra who 3 putting a half dozen times though (estimate I wasn't counting). Looked like a loss of confidence and he was struggling.

It's a funny mental game how something like a ratings update probably got to Eagles head. Some extra pressure to prove he is the "best". It's so silly the mental game which has been I think a recent strength of Eagles.

 

[autocrosscrx]

Statiscally, Ezra was even the worst putter on his card during Round 1. Eza putted 50% C1X and Nikko putted 44% C1X.

It doesn't help when when you miss you fly by 35-40 feet, I guess it helps the C1X stat though. Yeah I don't ever land in C1, I just fly by 40 feet till it sticks! lol

I like Ezra too, he'll figure it out. :thmbup:

 

[Superbford]

ROUGH start to the DDO... 12 over after three holes...

ugh.
