Aaron Cockerill’s game has improved each year and he’ll be looking for a breakthrough on this year’s Mackenzie Tour.

“My game has gotten a little bit better each year I’ve been out here,” he says during a phone call from Phoenix, where he’s been working on his game in preparation for the Mackenzie Tour’s 2018 season. “I recently started working with (Golf Canada national men’s coach) Derek Ingram on some small changes, and I’m starting to get the hang of them. My game’s pretty good. I can hardly wait for the season to start.” A late bloomer who didn’t start playing competitive golf until age 16, Cockerill – the 2012 and 2013 Manitoba Men’s Match Play champion – has progressed steadily over his two years on the Mackenzie Tour, the first step on the path to the PGA Tour. In 2016, he finished 47th on the Tour’s Order of Merit with $14,893. In 2017, he improved to 37th on the Order of Merit with $16,572. However, the numbers don’t tell the entire story. Jumping 10 places on the Order and earning nearly $2,000 more may not seem like a ton of progress. But look closer at the stats, and you see that Cockerill’s scoring average during the 2017 Mackenzie Tour season was 69.70. Yet, that sub-70 scoring average netted 37th spot on the Order of Merit, which goes to show how competitive the Tour is. With that in mind, Cockerill is focused on working on the things that will enable him to separate himself from his talented peers this year. “I’ve really been working on improving my swing fundamentals,” says Cockerill, who’s known for his solid ball striking. “I’m trying to pick up more clubhead speed for more distance, especially off the tee. I’m also working on improving my putting inside 10 feet. Having played for two years out here, I’ve seen how close everyone is (in terms of talent). If I can gain some distance and make more putts inside 10 feet, I’m pretty confident I’ll move up the money list.” Another area he’s working on is self-belief, something a player needs to have to
