Paul Azinger or, Zinger, won eleven times on the PGA Tour between Jan. ‘87 – August ‘93. He was just reaching his peak in 1993 after winning the PGA Championship. Zinger stopped playing actively after being diagnosed with cancer. However, upon recovery, he won once more (2000), and retired from active competition soon after.
Always known as a great ball-striker and fairly long hitter, Paul won using an Open Stance set-up and a flat swing. Like so many other great champions, he realized, athletically, the Open Stance requires nothing but a specific intention with a golf ball. However, that cannot be said for any other set-up.
Paul’s winning clip suggests he could have won twelve more times in the years he was inactive. Twenty-plus wins puts Paul in some impressive historical company. In fact, Zinger would be in the Top 30 of all time! Hence, his is a pretty impressive record.
When you watch the following video, look at his feet. Notice the uniqueness in his motion. Compare it to Sergio, Bubba, Ricky, Jack, Lee, Leaky, Freddie, et.al. Two things connect all these greats… a specific intention and an Open Stance. In conclusion, open you’re stance and find your swing.
