Irish professional golfer Peter Lawrie has dropped from 161st in the world two years ago to about 900th in the Official World Golf Rankings now. He says his addiction to soda is to blame. In 2013, he tried to stop, going cold turkey. He cut Coke from his diet but it backfired. “I went from such a high on sugar to a dramatic low,” he continued. “I know this might shock people, but I lost all confidence in myself. I wouldn’t say I went for a breakdown, but I got exceptionally emotional at the end of that year and some of last year, as well.”
So Lawrie is back to drinking soda but in moderation. Yahoo! Sports reports “he’s made the cut in his last three starts, including T-16 last week in Malaysia that was his best finish since the 2013 Irish Open, where he wound up T-10 just three weeks before cutting Coke.”
