SEPTEMBER 3
Graham DeLaet
@GrahamDeLaet I have no idea what percentage of players use anchored putters and what percentage of players have won this year with anchored putters
@GrahamDeLaet But you have to think the two numbers must be pretty close. I think that's 4 or 5 wins in a row for the short putter.
@GrahamDeLaet “@Lutterus: If belly or long putter was such an advantage why are hands down the two best players in world not using one? #nocase #anchor”
