He's anxious, he's worried, and he’s at the top.
They say worry causes grief, golfers say anxiety causes scorecard ache but Buckle says its just pressure.
During the Australian PGA Championship, all that most people could make out from Andrew Buckle and his lead was self doubt. Buckle had been so caught up in anxiety and pressure that he forgot how to enjoy his remarkable 64. What was his problem? People,
strain and a tough game.
According to recent reports, the twenty eight year old golfer was seen held up in the twisted unease due to his changed golf swing and the opinions others might pass on him.
But Buckle didn’t let his game suffer because of his inside struggle.
The 2002 turned professional reigned successful in reaching the apex as the co-leader and managed to set an early pace for the tournament with 10 birdies in total. His game at the Hyatt Coolum has thus managed to hand the twenty eight year old a high ending
event for a new level of elevated buoyancy.
With Buckle turning up the leader board sprint, Bobby Gates matched Buckle's eight-under mark. The American golfer thus preferred a birdie finish on the first round of the Australian PGA Championship with only one bogey and stood rather too tall.
Other than the football athlete look like, the golf favourites Geoff Ogilvy and Robert Allenby failed to grab the low scoring opportunities GC presented. Ogilvy ended his game with a decent 70 which was copied aptly by the other favourite with a 70 as well.
Moving lower on the leader board, Adam Scott stands with his watery grave blunder on the 13th hole. The highest ranked player in Australia thus managed to card a mere 73 in the first round of the event and achieved the 87th position
due to his earlier ball dump. Scott had been the victim of an unfortunate quadruple bogey which pushed him to the lowest at the leader board.
According to Buckle, he never thought of himself as a big player. The twenty eight year old said that the entire problem with him has been his low self esteem and what people were thinking about his swing that put a lot of pressure on him.
Answering how he dealt with the pressure, Buckle said that his focus had been on using his gut feeling. The golfer from Queensland won the Queensland Open in the year 2002 and earned the PGA entry in 2007.
“The whole day had been just amazing since everything was inside my head. This was my goal and it’s a good thing to be slowly getting there” Buckle said.
