Patton Kizzire loves to compete, even during practice sessions
Patton Kizzire isn’t the sort of player who obsesses over swing mechanics. Through trial and error, he has learned to maximize practice time by creating tournament-like situations into his routine.
“Most of what I do is getting the ball in the hole,” he said. “I’m focused on results.”
If there is a theme to his practice drills, it is competition, which fits his personality, and to treat every shot as if it counts.
