Think of a round of golf as a marathon. If at the start of the race you told yourself "only 25 miles left" how daunting would that feel? However, if you broke that race down into smaller segments, say 5 miles, then you would only have 5 miles left then start a new race.
What worked for me was playing 3 6-hole rounds (3holes for the front-3 holes for the back). I would play a mini tournament with myself and see which match I could play the best. I would even take a "mini-break" at the end of each round. Even if I shot 3 under on each of the 6 hole matches I was trying to shoot 4 under on the last 6. This really helped me when I got in contention because I was no longer worried about a certain score or what someone else was doing, I was only competeing with myself.
Try this and maybe create your own mini tournament routine
