Big Play

WHO: Vijay Singh

WHAT: 174-yard seven-iron approach into the water

WHERE: Par-4 18th at Bay Hill

WHEN: Final round of the Bay Hill Invitational

WHY

After yipping a two-footer to lose the Honda and now the water ball at Bay Hill, some people are mistaking Singh for Greg Norman. Is Vijay snakebit? No. He simply hit a couple of bad shots. Remember, Singh made late charges in both events and is again ranked No. 1. Look out for Vijay at the Players and the Masters.

MARK'S TIP

If Things Go Bad, Look for the Good

You'd be surprised how easy it is to rattle a Tour player. A couple of negative events like Singh's can be tough to shake off. One Tour pro recently told me that even though he was ranked in the top 40 in earnings, the tough patch he was going through made him think that his career was over and it might be time to get a real job. To deal with those types of situations, I help players expand the positives and diminish the negatives. Here's a list of ideas that I would go over with Singh this week if he were my pupil.
