Inside the Ropes: Kevin Na and Justin Thomas Share a Laugh
Justin Thomas (JT): Hey Kevin, has anyone ever told you that you’re the master of the walk-in putt?
Kevin Na: Haha, yeah, I get that a lot. The secret is to just believe it’s going in. Plus, it’s a great way to save a bit of time, right? What about you, JT? How do you keep calm on those clutch putts?
JT: Honestly, it’s all about the routine for me. Once I’m in the zone, it’s just muscle memory. Speaking of routines, how did you come up with your famous pre-shot visualization? It seems so meticulous.”
Kevin Na: Oh man, that’s just me overthinking everything! I used to get a lot of flak for it, but it helps me commit to the shot, and it’s worked out pretty well so far. Besides, everybody’s got their quirks out here. Yours just happens to be sending tee shots into orbit!
JT: Guilty as charged! Though, I must say, your precision with irons has always amazed me. How do you manage to stay so accurate?
Kevin Na: It’s all about practice and trusting the process. Plus, it helps to have a good caddie. Speaking of which, I heard yours gave you a tough time after that wild shot on the 18th last week. What happened there?
JT: Oh geez, that was a disaster. We had a little miscommunication. I thought he said 8-iron, he meant 9, and I ended up in the water. Not my finest moment, but hey, we laugh about it now.
Kevin Na: That’s golf for you. One minute you’re on top of the world, the next you’re fishing your ball out of a lake. Gotta love it!
JT: Absolutely. By the way, any plans for after the season? I’m thinking of hitting some exotic courses, maybe do a little vacationing. How about you?
Kevin Na: That sounds awesome! I’m actually thinking of spending some family time and maybe squeeze in a round or two with my kids. Nothing beats a father-daughter day on the greens, you know?
JT: Totally. Alright man, I gotta run but let’s catch up again soon. Maybe we’ll finally get that round of golf together!
Kevin Na: You got it, JT. Take care and keep those tee shots straight!
As the two friends part ways, they leave behind a trail of camaraderie and mutual respect, the hallmarks of true sportsmanship on and off the course.
