307: Akshay Bhatia on Winning at Bay Hill & Masters prep + Dr. Bhrett McCabe on the Mental Edge in Golf

Smylie Kaufman sits down with two elite perspectives in golf:

First, recent Arnold Palmer Invitational winner Akshay Bhatia joins to break down his victory at Bay Hill, his evolving game, and how confidence, putting, and mindset fueled his breakthrough.

Then, sports psychologist Dr. Bhrett McCabe joins to unpack the mental side of elite performance—highlighting Cam Young’s Players Championship win, pressure, confidence, and why perfection is the biggest myth in golf.
