Jake KNAPP joins the spoon with Golf’s Claire Rogers.

Ongoing SPOON: Jake KNAPP!
2024 open Mexico Champion and 15th PGA Tour player to light a sub-60 The round joined me for a spoonful of cookie ice cream to discuss his PGA Tour journey, how to increase the swing speed and why fitness is such an important part of his life.
I also made sure to ask KNAPP how to get a tour event, because let us admit: it’s a feat that most of us will never accomplish.
“Bitta a little surreal,” he said. “I’m not a very emotional person, but I just wanted to get emotion, because you know that everything, the years and everything that leads to it, everything has led to that point. And it was not one of them where you win and you are like, ‘Oh, this is just one of them where it is a great extrusion almost when it is done.”
How about what he would change? Taking some rest time then to moisten it all inside.
“This is probably the only thing I would get again, maybe, or if I could reprint it, it would be good to be able to dive, go to see my family, celebrate a little,” he said. “Because I flew that night, I played in a pro-am the next morning. Then I went and prepared for the next start of the golf tour on Thursday. And then I played Arnold Palmer Next week, played players next week. I didn’t take a week off until after that. So it was very golf in a short blow. Maybe I would have been good to take a break. “
So Folks: If you ever find yourself winning a PGA Tour event (or, most likely, the net separation of your local mold), make sure you soak them all. Get a day off. Celebrate with the people you love. Work will always be waiting for you.
