The best putter in the game, Denny McCarthy, had his best finish of the year (T7) at the Sanderson Farms championship. I think I'll stick to working on my tee to green game.
Ok both are streaky players, when their flat stick is silent they are not in contention still bombing out there. Rory as well. But if you looks at the most constant two golfers of my generation Tiger and Phil, they made their bones on the greens. Jim Furyk is another example. You putt twice as much as you drive off the tee and really good golfers do not hit driver off the tee every time they can. Statistically, putting is more important than driving, it’s just math baby.
