If you’ve tuned in to winning moments in the Major Championships or PGA and LPGA Tour events of late, you’ll have no doubt noticed a worrying trend: players calmly acknowledging the crowd and showing less emotion than an 18-handicapper recording 36 points in a club Stableford competition.
I can’t stress enough how much this irritates me. Of course, players are welcome to celebrate how they want and winning manifests itself differently depending on who you are, what you’ve been through and how extrovert a character you are.
