what is that?
Technically easy! That was his 3-foot par his putt that 2009 US Open winner Lucas Glover hit in the first round on Thursday. american express tournament. But, as you can see, there are probably others. Or less? On the putt, Glover quickly flipped his wrist to get the blade back and another flip to move it forward, causing the ball to roll.
You may have more questions…
Has Lucas Glover ever putt this way before?
yes, Especially at last year’s Honda Classicwhere it was recorded as well as Pat of the Week and shared on the Internet, which you can see below.
is it legal?
We dug this out with our Honda Pat.In short, yes, and here is what we wrote:
Under Rule 10.1you will see a “stroke” defined as:
A stroke is made by striking the ball fairly with the head of the club. The basic challenge is to direct and control the movement of the entire club by swinging it freely without binding it.
In 10.1a/1 relevant languagethe rules outline three ways that do not constitute “stroke”.
Luke Carr-Dineen
– A player holes a short putt by hitting the ball with the bottom of the clubhead in a motion similar to hitting a shot in billiards or a shuffleboard. A push is what moves the ball.
– A player moves the club along the ground and pulls it toward him. Moving the ball in this way is a scratch.
– A player slides the club under the ball so close to it. Players then use forward and upward motion to lift and move the ball. Moving the ball like this is the scoop.
Return to Grabber. After Honda’s putt fell, a small group of social media commentators speculated that the putt was a more pushed one and should have constituted a two-shot penalty. Hmm, but if you slow down the video you can see a very slight backswing. You can also see that the grabber arm is moving (slightly). This meant that it was a legal stroke under the rules of fair and square golf.
why?
Yip movement. golf digest Luke Carr-Dineen cleverly noticed Glover “traditionally” putt at least twice with American Express on Thursday, and the putt in question was an outlier. Several Control. I ended up having this from Grover:
Of course, it wasn’t always like this. Glover is a world class player. In addition to winning the Open, he has also won the 2005 Funai Classic and his 2011 Wells Fargo Championship. But golf came to his mind because that’s what golf does.
But Glover worked on it. Michael Bamberger is wonderfully explained hereAnd Glover has won the 2021 John Deere Classic again.
However, Bamberger’s article has a quote that best describes our question. It comes from Glover’s agent, Mack Bernhardt.
“You can’t cure yips. Everyone has yips. But you can minimize them.”
And on Thursday, Glover made a putt.
