LA QUINTA, Calif. – A short memory is crucial for professional golfers, but Russell Knox might be taking it a bit too far.
“I don't remember that,” he said when asked about last season.
Although there was a pandemic wedged into the middle of it all, what Knox is keen to forget is that he went from early February to August without making a cut on the PGA Tour. It was a run of 10 events – not including The Players, which was canceled – without a paycheck.
He started to turn things around last fall with four top-25 finishes in his last seven events of 2020 and through three rounds at The American Express he’s on pace for his best finish since 2017.
