Can I Make Match Play At The US AMATEUR?

[@iMLGProDIgy]

Dudes in these comments talking about how u played like they’ve ever played this high level of golf it’s hilarious. Don’t let them get u down man keep going

[@colemangreene9679]

I couldn’t imagine playing this well in tournament conditions and having people who couldn’t break 90 tell you you’re playing nervous golf 😂😂 Unreal content man great playing. Good luck to you in future tourneys !

James 1:2-4 Consider it pure joy, my brother, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. God bless and Carry On!

Evan, firstly, thank you for towing us in your journey. It takes a lot of courage abd vulnerability to show us every shot- good or bad. I just wanted to say - you’ve already won in life. There are so many of us watching your progress, and it’s just a privilege you’ve given us. If I had any advice to give (which no stranger on the internet has a right to), is to play free. Bro, you are the real deal. The pressure you place on yourself is a two edged sword- in one way, it’s why you are great. The other way, you just expect perfection. I am telling you, you have the gifts to go as far as you want if you just didn’t get in your own way and play FREE. Keep going brotha, thank you for everything

[@Par5n269]

Outstanding round Sir!!! Never ever quit had to be fun you’ll never forget this one. Thanks for sharing.

[@Butcho22]

I found your channel after the Grant video and just want to say the vibes are great. F the haters man, keep going!

[@marvinfrench2263]

Keep up the grind, stay positive, pray a lot, you will succeed!

[@toddlemieux2339]

Just started following your channel after the Grant match. Talk about a talented player. Congrats on playing in the US Am! Awesome stuff…keep going

[@rustygarner8976]

Dude your determination and gameplay is amazing you’re definitely going somewhere, don’t give up keep striving for greatness. You’re such an inspiration. Congratulations 🎉

[@nomask4me352]

The game is there brother, you are an unbelievable player off the tee. The distance off the tee gives you so many birdie chances. The short game and putting will come more natural with more experience on the Pro tournament style conditions.

[@Mgolf149]

You have the game to compete at this level. It was a great performance on a VERY tough set up. Experience at this point is what’s going to take you to the next level. Keep grinding it will pay off.

[@markrussellfilaroski5035]

Very respectable playing. Well done. 99.9% of people will never know what it's like playing on the biggest amateur stage or how hard the courses can get. Be sure to give yourself an atta boy.

Thank you Mark! Appreciate you!

I love your positivity man. Keep up the good work. You are such an inspiration to me and everyone around you. You a dawg for real. You make me want to be a better person and a stronger man of God.

Great experience at very difficult course. You will become mentally stronger and more confident player at future events. Like these videos!

Fantastic content. Real, honest and relatable. You are a great player. Keep it up and keep these videos up!

Thank you brother! Appreciate you big time!

[@ib3d43vr]

Keep up the good work man...youre an inspiration

[@DeztinyDanze]

I use to work on tour selling putters. Best tip I ever got was choke down on driver to stop pulling left. Made a huge change in my mental and physical game. Now fairway finders are normal especially under stress. Jesus loves you!!! I know we will be seeing a lot more of you!

[@josephrenz3882]

My opinion is different from the rest I guess, how awesome is it to have this perspective from such high level amateur golf? Regardless of outcome this is the content I enjoy. Congrats on making to the Am. Keep grinding brother!

[@evanthompsongolf]

Perspective is everything! Thank you so much!

12 is always a par 4😂

Dam Evan to go from playing D1 football to playing in the US AM is mind blowing good stuff love the vids!

Great job man, keep up the grind

[@neilpabari-s5h]

thats the way to play evan work hard at it then leave it to god once we complete our process to the best of out ability winning or losing really are quite irelavant to our journey, may god be with you always and best of luck going forward

[@williamnienstedt2337]

I’m no course management expert/high level amateur. But I feel like the way ET played 11 could’ve been different and allowed him to get rolling early. 315 out on a pretty open par 5 and laying up to 125 yds is bananas to me! Scottie scheffler averages 15-16 feet on his approach shots between 100-125 yds and is the PGA tour leader. With ET’s swing speed, ball striking and the way the hole is set up, I don’t understand why not hit it out there 260-270 and give yourself a pitch shot in. Much easier to get your third shot closer to the hole and give yourself an easy birdie opportunity from that distance. Or why not look at percentages and aim to where you can miss with the driver on 14! Joe schmo’s like me benefit from course management strategies that a program like Decade Golf offers and I feel like ET and his caddie would benefit as well. Keep up the content!

[@evanthompsongolf]

hey man! great comment here! The rough at Hazeltine was brutal, hard to understand without being there. You would rather be 100 yards away in the fairway rather than 10 yards away in the rough. It was brutal out there!

[@bigwinsports1406]

​@@evanthompsongolf I get the thought process of having a favorite number from the fairway, but the stats will always say you get the ball closer from 10 yards in rough than 100 in fairway. You should check out some of Scott Fawcett's stuff

[@iammars142]

@@bigwinsports1406 The stats are general PGA Tour averages. If he's never played in rough this thick, they're almost irrelevant. Hard to do well at something you've never experienced. Greens rolling 14 and USGA championship level rough are a fine reason to fall back to the comfort zone. Can nit-pick strategy, but his strategy probably only cost him a stroke or 2 over 2 days. Game just wasn't there that weekend. Happens.

[@Butcho22]

@@bigwinsports1406 Yeah on average, but depending on the pin placement and bunkering around the green it can make sense to lay up.

[@reneperetz9091]

I used to judge you so hard on instagram! But I love the videos and the opinions have changed!

[@NcAa885]

Such an awesome video dude! Don’t let these wannabes in your comment section try to tell you how to play golf. Keep pushing!

[@josephcardoza4142]

dawg i’ve been waitinggg for this🙌🏻

[@projectfiveunder]

Was gonna leave a comment about your game, but tbh it's hard because I wasn't there. I play to about a +1 and sometimes my dad will ask me why I hit X club off the tee and he doesn't really get it because he's not playing. I don't think your management was that bad, you hit driver, it costed you, then backed to the 2 iron, the 2 iron still costed you, but I don't think if you hit driver you woulda had a better time. I really just think the nerves got to you, and obviously that will just improve over time. Also really sucks when the putts are just burning edges all day. You start to get mad that they won't drop and become more and more aggressive. Still unreal that you got into the stroke play part of the US AM. You got it next year brother.

[@cori7095]

Keep at it bro!!

[@peterodonnell3399]

well done. onward!

[@Mike_Morrow_Golf]

Congratulations on your tournament ET 👍

I was in the background of your tee shot on 17 up on the hill it was a great shot and Hazeltine conditions were immaculate

[@ykwhatsmassive]

Great job man just keep working on that putting game

You are better than this Evan . These golf nerves are real. You get them under your belt. You'd be unstoppable with your talent

[@Boo_Sheisty]

Just broke 90 for the first time the other day and felt great. My only thing tho is that I hit my irons great on the range but not as good in the actual round. Do you have any tips on how to transfer that over?

[@dixonp.4785]

Not trying to nit pick but 12 has never been a 5 for members or championships

[@chaddddd1251]

Way too defensive approach to the tournament. Irons off the tee and still missing fairways and making bogeys/doubles. Looked and sounded like you were just trying to survive and do OK. You are not going to win anything with that mindset. You have the length, shots and skills to go low so just believe in your abilities and go for it man. You need to make it happen rather than wait for it to happen.

Kind of agree that this is defensive, nervous golf..using 2 iron when a par 4 is 450+ makes no sense tbh. Keep it up tho, great game overall
