So how does this seemingly average length player with a homemade swing get such amazing results? It's a combination of:

Being mentally focused for every shot
Having a consistent and repeatable swing
Having a quality short game that includes clutch putting

The one attribute that helps Jordan with each of these skills is his repeatable tempo. Here's video of him as a junior golfer:

Here's another video from Jordan's golf coach, Cameron McCormick, explaining other benefits of focusing on tempo.
