Earlier this summer I noted with regret that Adam Scott, once considered a Young Lion of the PGA Tour, was now using a long putter. Three weeks ago, Keegan Bradley, age 25 for God's sake, won the PGA Championship in thrilling fashion while using a belly putter. This was the first time a major championship was won by a golfer using a non-standard putter.
Then this past Friday, Phil Mickelson, one of the greatest golfers of his era, if not of all time, shows up at the the FedEx playoff event with a belly putter. Say it ain't so, Lefty, say it ain't so.
Ben Hogan is no doubt spinning like a lathe in his grave.
