Following a round of two-under in Round 3 at the Valspar Championship (Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club in Palm Harbor, FL), Kevin Streelman immediately spent an extended period of time on the range. Although it could be surmised that Streelman was reassuring a swing thought following a positive round, Streelman candidly admitted, "I'm definitely working through a few things."

"In this crazy game, our feels change daily. A good swing thought can work really well one day and feel completely foreign the next," said Streelman. 

​"I’m constantly trying to tighten my game up with past experiences," said Streelman. "I have hundreds of notes in my phone of this was a great feel this day, this was a bad feel this day. I can go back to majors that I played well in, Tampa when I won here, Hartford when I won there."

Speaking on the current state of his swing, Streelman said, "I tend to get a little bit steep with the shaft, and then I have to really lay it off in transition. That gets me stuck with fast legs. That’s just my DNA." As for the correction, Streelman said, "I’m always thinking of trying to open the face earlier and steepen it at the top, feeling support like a triangle, more like Ernie Els. Then, I have space to compress it."
