I thought he'd be hitting balls Monday morning at the golf course, because it's a tough course to finish on and it's a major championship. If anything, just him being there at the clubhouse and being seen might have affected the way they played on Monday.

a person that's out there hitting golf shots.

It just reminds me that the ones doing the work aren't the ones playing tournament golf. They've taken a lot of the character out of it.

The vast majority of golfers don't go on to play golf as a profession, but they do go onto other professions where there will heat on them from time to time. Some people choke under pressure.
