He did improve somewhat against GWS but he did still manage to shank a few. Hopefully his miracle goal gives him some confidence.
I am assuming that he is receiving a pretty heavy tag these days. I wonder if that is effecting him more than we realize? He will come good once he is taught how to overcome it.
