Professional golfers are constantly trying to find something that will give them an edge. They experiment with their swings, diets, fitness and teams in hopes that something might click. In the case of Ryann O’Toole, it was something she removed during tournament weeks that has made an immediate impact: alcohol.
“Even a simple drink made me very foggy the next day,” said O’Toole. “It made me on edge. I don’t think my body processes it very well.”
So O’Toole, 28, gave up a glass of wine or beer for dinner during the U.S. Women’s Open at Lancaster Country Club and tied for 20th that week.
