Scottie needs to go away from the Claw…

I’ve personally struggled with the Y word. And just know this Claw is a short term fix, but you can’t release the putter properly. He’s clearly struggling with hitting his lines and seems to be holding off the natural flow of the putter head.

He has a plumber’s neck and needs to go back to traditional grip or overlap to let the putter release!

He can’t make much right now……

Scottie rode the claw to two of the best seasons in golf history by a guy not named Tiger.

I don’t disagree. But clearly it’s not working for him as of late……something is off.

Maybe it’s the two small children at home and a hundred million in the bank.

Clearly the man is unreal…..one stat I hadn’t looked at before now is Proximity ranking.

He’s 103rd this year to date….

2025 - 1st
2024 - 2nd
2023 - 12th

But man - when he has the putts inside 20’. He’s just not rolling em well….

I’m sure they would’ve penalized Bryson if his second shot ball went out of bounds behind a building.

No. And there's special rules for that enclosure.

The Bryson apologist are out in numbers because he broke a rule and got called out.

But he's got game on the socials!

Scottie is a tremendous talent and has many more wins in him.

My only concern is as he gets older his footwork may be his demise.

It's easy to bend, twist joints and time things perfectly when you are young. But age or injuries can catch up to you.

He’s a very good putter. He isn’t seeing the lines at that venue, not that he isn’t hitting them. Almost everything he hit was close to the hole.

It could be the color of those greens. Not seeing the contours as well.

I agree. Was thinking the same thing earlier today.

Very strange to me he’s doesn’t have a putting guru on his team . He wins this week by 3/4 if he makes 40% of makables a day. Crazy how bad he putted

He works with Phil Kenyon, the #1 ranked putting coach in the world……

People seem to forget how bad he putted two years ago
