The article discusses the struggles of professional golfer Bernhard Langer with the yips, a condition that causes sudden putting failures. Langer recalls his toughest moments, particularly in 1989 at the Buick Invitational when he struggled despite good play. He expressed deep emotion over his journey, citing his faith and support from friends as pivotal during his challenges. Langer's resilience led to significant achievements, including two Masters wins and an exceptional career on the senior tour, marking him as one of the greatest players in golf history.
"I went back to my hotel and literally got on my knees... I said a prayer like, 'God, if you want me done with this game, I'm ready to give it up.'"
"Those were the hardest times in my life, in my golfing life, I should say. I’ve had the yips on four different occasions... just not lately, thank goodness."
