5 Over After 6 Holes?! How Champions Recover Without Trying Harder

In this mental game breakdown, Dr. Mike Grevlos joins us to unpack what really happens when a tournament round goes sideways early—and more importantly, how to right the ship. Using JJ Spaun’s gritty U.S. Open comeback as a case study, we explore the psychology behind staying composed after a disastrous start. Spoiler: it’s not about fixing your swing mid-round. It’s about belief, attribution, and reframing your goals. Whether you’re chasing a title or just trying to beat your buddies, this episode dives into the tools elite players use to shift momentum—without losing their mind or their scorecard.

If you’ve ever stared at a triple bogey wondering how the day went off the rails—this one’s for you.
