Description
Season two of The Turn is here. We start with Will Zalatoris and Scott Fawcett. Will is ranked 43rd in the world golf rankings, is the 2014 U.S. Junior Amateur champion, and 2017 ACC player of the year. That same year, he was a member of a victorious Walker Cup team that featured Cameron Champ and Collin Morikawa. Will earned his way onto the Korn Ferry Tour in 2019 through Monday Qualifiers and finished #1 on the KFT’s money list last year. Will earned an exemption into the U.S. Open at Winged Foot where he tied for 6th. 14 PGA events, five top-10s, and $1.8M in winnings later, Will has ascended the world rankings. He has more worldwide top-10s than any player since the start of 2020. Scott founded the DECADE scoring system, which solves golf strategy by combining shot distribution patterns and PGA Tour scoring statistics to optimize target selection. In 2014, Scott caddied for Will in the Texas Amateur, which he won by three shots. Three weeks later Will won the U.S. Junior Amateur. Scott and Will share their history through stories of tournaments, applying their findings over time, how those findings helped Scott shape his theories for DECADE, and we discuss Will’s REAL practice of meditation and how it’s helped elevate his game.
