There are events in every sport where you almost know you've seen the beginning of something big, even as it was happening. Looking back on the events that have taken place since this day, this was one of those occasions.
As one looks back on Jordan's play in the Australian Open, what stands out (other than his great putting) is his ball striking that allowed him to navigate a very difficult course in challenging conditions. Watch how the speed of his transition from the conclusion of his back swing to the early stages of his downswing occur at the same speed. This is key to Jordan's ball striking success. When he struggles, as he has done in some rounds of late, the mismatched transition speed is the root cause. Golfers of any age or talent endlessly search for improvement. More accuracy, more distance, more specific shot proficiency, just more....... Of them all, it is the search for greater distance and clubhead speed at impact that can cause transition speed challenges, with poor ball striking soon to follow. So Jordan, focus on your transition consistency and the resulting quality of impact and less on clubhead speed. The Grand Slam awaits you in 2019.
