We spotted this week’s winner, Billy Horschel, on the range at Cherry Hills, Thursday using the SwingLink training aid.

What was he doing using the product you see below?

To answer that, remember this: With the ball slightly below his feet on the 72nd hole of last week’s Deutsche Bank Championship, Billy Horschel chunked his approach shot into to a hazard, ending his run at victory.

If you looked at what Horschel said in the aftermath of the poorly struck approach, he said a lot of things like:

It happens. I’ve got thick skin. I let things roll off me a lot. Nothing seems to bother me for too long. That’s just the kind of person that I’ve been my whole life. And so, I didn’t dwell on it. It was over, I had a lot of great people call me to make sure I was doing okay, and I said listen, I’m fine. It’s just a bad swing at the wrong time.

In other words. He put it out of his mind and got back to work.

As you can see, his grind sessions on the range involved the use of the SwingLink.

What does the SwingLink claim to do?

According to the manufacturer:

Swing Link is a revolutionary golf training tool that helps you achieve a more efficient golf swing in minutes! It keeps your arms and body working together as a single unit rather than allowing the arms to work independently. The Swing Link keeps the body in control and the arms in the proper position to encourage the body to pivot. It puts the emphasis on the larger muscles.

Horschel, of course, won the BMW Championship by two strokes. Not surprisingly, he was excellent from tee to green for the week, as you can from his first, second, third, fourth, and average numbers below, along with his rank in each category.

No word on how long Horschel’s been using the product, but you’d have to guess it’ll be making the trip to Atlanta with the second-ranked player in the FedEx Cup standings.
