Tiger Woods is synonymous with the sport of golf.
Eldrick woods ensured that.
Tiger Christensen is a junior golfer at Arizona who has also made a name in the world of golf.
Christensen from Germany won his third college championship, taking home the medalist award at Trinity Forest Golf Club’s third annual Jackson T. Stephens Cup on Tuesday. He finished the tournament at 19-under-197 after shooting 8-under-64 in the final round. He credits some tweaks he made to his driver before the event. In the three rounds, he missed 42 of them.
Christensen stated, “I was pretty confident going into this tournament.” “I missed four fairways in qualifying over three rounds. “But to miss only 2 fairways over 54 holes is pretty impressive.”
Christensen said that he felt comfortable on the greens throughout the week. He attributed this to a new drill he used in his warm-up prior to the tournament. He did not make a single three-putt during the week and couldn’t recall when he last played 54 holes without making a three-putt.
