“I played a lot hungover. I played a few rounds where I was still drunk from the night before,” he said. “One time [during a PGA Tour event], I played the front nine, drank four Coors Lights at the turn, then shot like four or five under on the back nine and finished seventh on the tournament…those beers released all the pressure.”
