When you’re not cashing checks on the PGA Tour, you try to save as much as you can. For Martin Trainer, who had made just four cuts in 26 starts this year before grabbing the 36-hole lead at this week’s Houston Open, that means taking advantage of his bilingualism.
Asked if he curses more in English or his other language, French, Trainer explained, “French yields less fines, so definitely French.”
Regardless of the language, it’s hard to fault Trainer for a few choice words. The 30-year-old may have been a surprise winner when he broke through for his maiden Tour victory at the 2019 Puerto Rico Open, but few could’ve predicted the struggles that followed.
