Doesn't Allen Doyle have like the ugliest swing in the history of professional golf?

OMG it is like he has no backswing. Here is an excerpt from an interview:

Q. Could you just talk a little bit about how you became comfortable with your own golf swing, how you got, you know, to the point that you said I can play in this league, I can run with these guys, and have, the process growing up or whatever for you?

ALLEN DOYLE: The process was I had to put blinders on and I had to put earplugs in my ears because everyplace I went, they'd snicker and they'd scratch their heads and they'd wonder how it happened. I can remember in this event too when I was a rookie the first two rounds I played with (Ray) Floyd and (Jack) Nicklaus and I am thinking to myself how did I get stuck in this pairing, my God, I wish -- because I would have rather been stuck with two anonymous guys. But the night before I told myself well, if you look at the stat sheet, I have a better stroke average than they do. I hit more greens than they did. I hit more fairways than they do. My sand save percentage is better. Almost everything I was doing that year in the short period of time that we had played, my statistics were superior to theirs.

So I just said just go out and put on your blinkers and putt in your ear plugs so you don't hear or you don't see people turning to people saying what the hell is with this guy, how does he do it, so it didn't take me long because basically what I had to do at every level that I went to, you know, when I went from playing to the state tournaments it was the same thing, playing in regional, playing in national then playing on the Nike, playing on the Tour, it was the same thing, so I had to actually had gone through it three, four times and I knew that the ball didn't know any better. That if I could repeat that swing and make the shots and all the putts, that I didn't know where I'd fall, but I knew I'd give myself the best chance to succeed and I would fall someplace between the top and the bottom -- I just wanted to see more closer to the top.

Q. When you were unhappy with your swing, who did you go to that knows your swing that can look, you know, help you and not try to remake your swing?

ALLEN DOYLE: I have not ever seen anybody. There is no one -- I go to the range and I will hit balls and do makeshift things until I get the ball starting to do -- you know, what I historically do with the ball draw it a little, so I have always been able to go to the range and beat balls for a certain period of time to get the ball to do what I want it to and that's, you know, that's the way I have always worked with my swing.

Q. When Jim Furyk was looking to go to college he talked to a lot of coaches. He went to the school where the coach said you know what, I am not going to touch your swing, it's just fine the way it is. Is there anybody in your history that sort of said to you the same thing, don't mess with it?

ALLEN DOYLE: Oh, yeah, where I caddied there was an old pro there and all the assistants always were trying to change me, and he would see this process and he grabbed me aside one day, he said two things. One, don't ever take any lessons from someone that can't beat you, because why can't they translate that to themselves to make them better golfers, and then two, if you could drive the ball straight and you could chip and putt, it will shock you how many guys you will be able to beat and how well you will play day after day after day.
