Abraham Ancer now admits that he wasn’t ready for his first stint on the PGA Tour. He wasn’t ready physically or mentally.
“I quickly realized that I made huge mistakes trying to play golf like other golfers,” he said Wednesday from the Mayakoba Golf Classic.
Specifically, he wasn’t Rory McIlroy.
It was at the 2015 Frys.com Open, and Ancer was making his first start on Tour when he set up next to the former world No. 1 on the range.
“He starts hitting these irons that just take off straight up in the air carrying 210 [yards] into the wind and cold, like 5-irons,” Ancer said.
