DIAL IN YOUR BALL-STRIKING Try my two backswing keys for more consistent contact By Jennifer Kupcho
YOU KNOW HOW ATHLETES talk about being in the flow state? That’s what happened to me in the third round of the 2022 Chevron Championship, when I made nine birdies and shot an 8-under-par 64. I was out of my mind and completely in my body. It was the same feeling I had when I won the inaugural Augusta National Women’s Amateur in 2019. Though no athlete can teach you how to get in this flow state – I wish I knew how to control it myself – I can help you improve your ball-striking and hit more fairway and green finders. Here are two key moves my coach, Ed Oldham, and I work on to keep my contact consistent and my shot shape a predictable, easy-to-play cut. – WITH KEELY LEVINS
