EP 138: Why JJ Spaun's Rotation Is Worth Emulating

We start this episode with the week's winners. On the Korn Ferry Tour, Scotland's Sandy Scott erased a four-shot deficit with a final-round 65 to win the Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship at 18-under, earning his 2027 PGA Tour card. On the PGA Tour, Jacob Bridgeman rallied from five shots back with a career-best 61 to win the inaugural Biltmore Championship Asheville by two, his second win of 2026. And on the DP World Tour, JJ Spaun won the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth in his first attempt at the tour's flagship event, making four birdies in his last five holes to win by two shots.

That brings us to Spaun's golf swing, and why it's a model worth studying. The philosophy is simple: when you rotate well through the left side, the clubface doesn't have to do much, and that makes the ball so much easier to control. Scotty breaks down how Spaun's thoracic mobility and hip mobility work together to create that stable, repeatable rotation, and what amateur golfers can learn from it to simplify their own swing and gain more control.
