All for consistency

Billy Horschel, one of the more emotional players in golf, is also among the most unpredictable when it comes to his performance.

That’s what he wants to change.

Horschel was trending the right direction when he won his first PGA Tour event in 2013 at Zurich Classic. He was runner-up in Houston, tied for third in San Antonio, tied for ninth at Hilton Head and then he won.

Two years later, he had two missed cuts and two other finishes out of the top 45 when he went on a tear — runnerup in Boston, victories in the BMW Championship and Tour Championship. And this time? Four consecutive missed cuts and then a victory in the Byron Nelson.

“I feel like I have the game and talent to be one of the better players in the world,” Horschel said. “I’ve shown it in stretches, but not on a consistent basis — a la Jason Day, a la Dustin Johnson and Jordan Spieth. So I am trying to be more consistent. I want to be up there where they are and have chances to win majors on a regular basis.”
