On the eve of the Valspar Championship, Thomas insisted that he’s putting better than the numbers say. And we have to say that he had a pretty good excuse for those poor stats.
It was the combination of scrapping using an alignment line, and adopting a putter with enhanced alignment features, that landed Scheffler in the sweet spot.
Upon seeing Scottie Scheffler miss a 10-footer on the 72nd green at the Genesis Invitational, Rory McIlroy, who had finished his final round earlier that day, was asked by CBS reporter Amanda Renner if he had any advice for Scheffler, particularly on the greens.
Setting up with the shoulders on the correct line and focusing on “the right elbow moving straight away from the target” are two keys that will also help keep your hands and wrists quiet during the stroke.
So, why do we miss so many of them? And why do pros make so much more of them? That was the question posed and discussed by renowned golf biomechanist Dr Sasho Mackenzie at Andrew Rice’s recent Coach Camp conference.
