Tim Clark win the 2010 Players Championship


Tim Clark captures his first victory on the PGA Tour by winning the 2010 Player Championship. Clark was one of only 16 golfers in the field to break par on Sunday en route to a final round 67 and -16 for the Championship. While regarded as one the most popular and affable players on tour it’s hard to not cheer for the 5’7 golfer from South Africa.

In his post-round interview with the media, Clark credited his ability to remain confident under pressure seven times as he fielded questions from the media. He also attributed trusting himself or his ability several times during the Q&A.

On his emotions immediately following the round:
Yeah, obviously I'm over the moon. I knew it was going to be a tough day out there today, and I just tried to sort of channel what I did yesterday. I played a great round of golf yesterday and kind of hoped that I'd come out today and have the same sort of confidence and sort of trust in what I was doing, and I was able to do that.

When asked about his second place finishes on tour:
And it could have easily happened today. I had a very similar putt on 18, and I knew I needed that putt, and I knew I needed it at the Colonial. You know, today I just trusted myself and just tried to get into that shot and tried and hit that shot as best as I could. That's really the whole key.

On the 17th hole's island green:
I mean, all I could do was pick my club and trust it again. That's all you can do on that hole.

There was no mention of mechanical changes with his golf swing, posture, or grip.  Just the simple concepts of applying trust and confidence.
