Billy Horschel on slow play, his Masters chances and his passion for West Ham United | Golf News

I’m very much a feel player, and I’m a big believer in not taking a lot of time over the golf ball, making a decision and sticking to it.” 2:47 Nick Dougherty and Andrew Coltart review Billy Horschel’s victory over Scottie Scheffler in the WGC Match Play final Nick Dougherty and Andrew Coltart review Billy Horschel’s victory over Scottie Scheffler in the WGC Match Play final Horschel also laughed off a moment of embarrassment during his semi-final victory over Perez, a duffed third to the sixth hole that had his opponent and caddie, JP Fitzgerald having to scurry out of the path of the American’s ball.”These golf shots happen,” Horschel said. “As my college coach used to tell me, the guys you see on TV at the weekend are playing their best, they’re hitting great golf shots and making it look easy. They’re not showing the guys who missed the cut, or barely made the cut!”That shot, we had 150 yards to the pin, we were trying to fly it 155 yards, the wind was blowing really hard and I thought if I hit a seven-iron and the wind ate it up, it would come up short, and possibly right of the green. So I tried to hit a very chippy six-iron, that I would normally hit 195 yards, so I was not very committed on it. 0:46 “Obviously it turned out the way it should have with a non-committed golf shot. And I almost hit Victor and JP, and the European Tour had a camera on them, jumping out of the way. When I showed it to them before the final, JP said: ‘I wasn’t expecting to be playing in a pro-am on a Sunday!'”Among the many messages of congratulations was a text from West Ham stalwart Mark Noble, and the world No 17 revealed that he became a Hammers fan while in college and has followed the club closely every year.”My stats guy, Mark, is from England and he’s also a West Ham United fan,” Horschel added. “We’re having a hell of a season, incredible after almost being relegated last year, and to have a chance to make the Champions League is truly amazing. Mark Noble congratulated Horschel via text on Monday “Mark Noble sent me a text. I’ve never met Mark, but he got my number from Francesco Molinari and sent me a text yesterday. That was one of the coolest things, and we were texting back and forth.”I’m excited to see what the last part of the season has in store for West Ham. I think David Moyes has done an unbelievable job, and Jesse Lingard has been a key addition to the team. They had a strong team already, but he’s added a little extra spark, and we all know how good Michail Antonio is.”It’s been amazing to see what the team has achieved. I don’t know how the voting process goes, but in my opinion David Moyes should be Manager of the Year.
