10.02 Ian Baker Finch:
Har løsningen på Tigers problemer
Tiger Woods er i store problemer - i konkurransesituasjon på golfbanen.
Ian Baker Finch kjenner seg igjen. Han vant The Open i 1991 og hadde en nydelig
sving og et flott spill totalt sett. Da bestemte han seg for å bli end bedre!
Det gikk som kjent rett til helvete, for å si det pent.
Han har opplevd det samme som Tiger opplever nå. Dette sier han til golfchannel:
- I would love Tiger to just go play golf every day and stay away from the
machines and the mechanics and the trying to be perfec. I'd like to just see him
go play and shoot a score every day and enjoy golf again and maybe even learn to
play again, if that's the right terminology. I think he's forgotten how to play
golf. I think he's trying to play with a perfect swing every day, every time.
Hans egen erfaring:
- I would hit 50 perfect drives on the range, and snap-hook it off the first
tee. Tiger Woods does exactly the same thing. At the first tee at Augusta every
year he’s so nervous he hits it 100 yards off line, and he’s just hit 50 perfect
drives on the range. You can’t tell me that that’s a bad back, or a swing flaw.
It’s totally mental. It’s a fear. And it's not the yips. It's not a spasm. ...
It's a fear.
Her er hans mening om Tigers problemer i sin helhet.

Golfsiden var selv til stede på Royal Troon i 1997 da Ian Baker Finch gikk på 92
slag og trakk seg fra videre spill etter å ha strigrått i garderoben etter
runden.
Dette står å lese i Wikipedia om Ians problemer:
Baker-Finch then famously suffered a complete collapse of his game.[5] The
problems were often psychological: He would hit shots flawlessly on the practice
range, and then go to the first tee and hit a weak drive into the wrong fairway.
In the 1995 Open Championship at St Andrews, he notoriously hooked his first
round tee-shot at the first out-of-bounds on the left side of the fairway shared
with the 18th, with attention focused on him as his playing partner was Arnold
Palmer, competing in his final Open. In 1995 and 1996 he missed the cut,
withdrew after one round, or was disqualified in all twenty nine PGA Tour events
that he entered.
Baker-Finch later said: "I lost my confidence. I got to the point where I didn't
even want to be out on the golf course because I was playing so poorly. I would
try my hardest, but when I came out to play, I managed to find a way to miss the
cut time and time again. It became a habit."[6]
After shooting a 92 in the first round of the 1997 British Open at Royal Troon,
an extraordinarily bad score by tournament professional standards, Baker-Finch
admitted that he cried in the locker-room that afternoon. He withdrew from the
championship after one round and retired from tournament golf.
De siste årene har han vært en ypperlig TV-kommentator.
