Gud in luking and when wear looking smart
A new generation has overtaken the game of professional golf, and it’s as serious about staying in shape as it is about style. No one embodies that better than Billy Horschel, winner of the 2014 FedExCup and proud wearer of Ralph Lauren golf attire. RL Magazine recently sat down with the 28-year-old to talk about his intense training regimen and savvy course tactics.
RL Magazine: What’s your mind-set going into the season ahead?
Billy Horschel: Last year was obviously, so far in my young career, the best year I’ve had, and it was a step or two taken toward the next level. It’s been great to be the champion and everything that comes with it, but going into 2015, I’ve been focused on working hard—as I always do—but trying to get better in all areas of golf, whether it be fitness, strength, flexibility, short game. My team and I don’t need to reinvent the wheel; we know that we can operate at the highest level because of our results at the FedExCup. All we are trying to do is make little, subtle changes that allow me to play more consistently.
What’s a noncompetition day like for you?
I’m on the course at 7, practice from 7 to 12. Usually it involves three and a half hours of short game, wedges and putting, and then hitting balls. Then I take a break from noon till 2, then I’m in the gym from 2 to 3 and then if I want to play nine holes, I’ll do that or take the rest of the day off.
