Cantlay led this tournament throughout, but he only shot a one-under par 69 to stave off the top thirty players on the PGA Tour this year in this elite and final tournament of the season. Rahm the bull stayed within firing range of Cantlay most of the day, from one to three strokes back of him, making it a two-man race to the finish line. But Rahm, currently the #1 golfer in World Ranking, just couldn\u2019t make any putts like he has been doing lately, especially when he really needed them.<\/p>\n

After he won, Cantlay said in the televised media interview, \u201cIt\u2019s the longest lead I\u2019ve ever held. I just tried to stay day after day in the present.\u201d Cantlay says to help him do that, he\u2019s been practicing meditation.<\/p>\n

When asked why he is so stoic when he wins, Cantlay said he hasn\u2019t been able to make that transition from being focused on the task at hand, and then when achieving his goal to let loose with his emotions. He cited Tiger Woods as the player who could do that better than any other.<\/p>\n

But I suspect that now superstar Mr. Cantlay should just keep on doing what he\u2019s doing without trying to copy cat someone else, even if it is the great Tiger.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
