...first approach emphasizes order and precision, and appeals to tinkerers and mechanically minded players such as former Open champions Nick Faldo and Ben Hogan, who dedicated their lives to studying the angles and positions of an accurate swing. The latter approach embraces more poetical notions like rhythm, focus and visualization, and is exemplified by "feel" players such as the Texan Ben Crenshaw, who credited his 1995 U.S. Masters victory to the mental strength instilled in him by his golf mentor Harvey Penick, and who mused mysteriously that the U.S. Ryder Cup team won in 1999 because "there was something...
