BROOKLINE, MASSACHUSETTS — Professional golfers are constantly reinventing themselves. Short hitters gain distance, bad putters improve their game, and perennial contenders find a way to win.
Joel Dahmen, the unfiltered Everyman of the PGA Tour, needed to learn what not to be - a professional golfer.
"I wasn't myself my first year out here. "I was attempting to become a professional golfer, which is not who I am," Dahmen explained. "I'm a little more laid back and like to have a little more fun, and I have my best friend [caddie Geno Bonnalie] by my side, and he's a lot of fun to be around."Dahmen's round began to go in the wrong direction with a bogey at No. 10 on Friday at Brookline when he made a familiar change.
"I caught myself a little bit on the front today, kind of keeping my head down, trying to almost like a pro golfer," said Dahmen, who tied for the 36-hole lead with Collin Morikawa after shooting a 4-under 66. "Those large guys keep their heads down and running, but I wave and say hello to everyone." All I have to do now is keep doing it.
