Retief Goosen won seven times on the PGA TOUR, including two U.S. Opens. He won 24 times internationally.
All 31 of those victories came between 1991 and 2009.
So while he clearly knows how to win, he hasn’t actually done it in 10 years. And like all players learn on PGA TOUR Champions, that feeling is a little different now. It wasn’t yesterday when he was hitting clutch putts, staring down the best in the game and winning majors. It’s decidedly not the cliché “just like riding a bike.” It’s like whitewater rafting in a leaky kayak with an old wooden paddle. A guy is just kind of hoping it all holds together, and chances are it won’t until it just does again.
