You are angered by the constant feeling that history will repeat itself, and this seems to be the trouble with Al Eapinosa.

Until he can correct it. he will continue to play well up to a certain number of holes and then by a queer mental kinlc, fall down. It may he stage fright, or over-anxiety. There is-nothing really tho matter with his game. Just -J little menial thai balks him before he can step over the last ditch into the promised hind.
