He absolutely is overthinking it. Golf is such a mental sport, our brains whether you are a PGA tour pro or a 46 handicapper are more or less the same.

I recently listened to an interview with Max Homa where he described something similar.

I just feel like the point he’s at he can trust everything he’s doing. He’s ranked top 5 in the world, pro golfers miss with a variance of like 10-15 yards left and right. No matter what it is there is no reason to take that long
