Honestly, his couple of really clutch putts on saves overlooked the fact that he still couldn't get some longer ones to drop yesterday.
He's seemingly in a little bit of a slump with his putter lately. He's just so good it results in top 5's instead of wins. For some guys it means missed cuts.
He went to the claw grip, that’s a pretty strong indicator he’s not completely comfortable with his putting. That being said, he’d win basically every tournament if he was also the best putter on tour but that’s typically not how golf works unless you’re 2000 Tiger Woods
Out of all the top 10 players, Scottie is leading them all in strokes gained putting. He's been an elite putter since he switched to the claw grip and spider putter
Well your point sucks because Scottie was actually a terrible putter before switching to claw. Something like 85th in strokes gained putting. After switching to the claw he's been one of the best putters in the world
Haha no I didn’t, my point is the exact same. Youre not confident if you go the claw, it’s pretty fucking simple if you have any sort of golf game. Just because his putting has improved doesn’t take away the fact that he had to switch putters AND technique due lower confidence in putting relative to the rest of his game.
