DETROIT — Taylor Moore strikes a pose at this week’s Rocket Mortgage Classic.
The 29-year old Arkansas graduate followed up his opening round 64 with a score of 67 on Friday at Detroit Golf Club to share the lead along with Taylor Pendrith.
Moore missed his third consecutive cut and had shot in the 70s for 11 of his 13 last rounds.
Moore explained, “I’m sure in the past, I may have panicked a bit about my game, scores I was posting, and tried to reinvent myself to fix things quickly.” “But my swing is good, mentality is good. I’m just going to continue playing golf, and I feel that I will eventually play myself out from some of the scores that I was shooting.” “I’ve already done that.”
He has, in fact, thanks to his hot putter. Moore is ranked first in Strokes Gained Putting (+7.602) and has already holed putts of more than 226 foot. His focus is on maintaining his finish in his swing. It’s worked so far.
He said, “That was something I’ve always done as a junior player and throughout my entire golf career. It’s brought me back to just hitting better shots, more quality shots and staying until the ball is finished.” “That’s what I tried to bring back in this week.”
