SAN DIEGO — Brandon Wimbush already looked the part with his Wayfarers, white polo and red shorts. Now he needed the short game to go with the style. With each successive swing, the Notre Dame quarterback lifted the ball a little higher off the ground. His pitching wedge didn’t quite scoop each shot into the sky, so he grimaced as the ball landed hard and skidded off the green. But after calculating the trajectory of his improvement in such a short window in his head, Wimbush made a declaration.
“I’m going to master it this summer,” he said.
