Billy Horschel arrived at the Memorial Tournament searching for his game. Thursday at Muirfield Village Golf Club the defending champ lost it again.
Billy Horschel explains how the first round of the 2023 Memorial contributes to his confidence being the lowest it's ever been.was a beaten man, brought to the lowest point of his golf career.
But from the jump Thursday, the hoped-for improved swing was nowhere to be found. By the end of 18 miserable holes, Horschel had entered the Memorial record book as carding the highest opening round of any defending champion. His 12-over-par afternoon slotted him 118th out of 119 golfers. What high-handicapper can’t relate? On any given swing, the vast majority of amateur golfers are about 40% sure where their ball will go. About 80% of the time they’re wrong, and seldom to their advantage. But the pros? The guys who always finish with their belt buckle to the target and drain 5-foot putts like they’re gimmes believe the ball obeys their command. That belief is central to their success. But when it wavers? Ask David Duval or Ian-Baker Finch about that. They had it. Lost it.
