Adam Scott played the 2018 PGA Championship with 2 putters in the bag

Published

Adam Scott, especially post-anchor-ban, struggles on the greens. This is no revelation. But, two putters?

The sweet swinger — maybe the holder of the best swing on Tour — came into the 2018 PGA Championship ranked 193rd in Strokes Gained: Putting, according to the PGA Tour. Caught between a long putter that he doesn’t anchor to his chest, and a traditional short putter, Scott played this week at the year’s fourth major with two putters in the bag; a Scotty Cameron Kombi Center-Shafted long putter, and a Scotty Cameron 340 short putter, according to Titleist.

As televised on “Live From the 2018 PGA Championship” on the Golf Channel on Saturday night, Scott was spotted putting post-round using the short stick. But come Sunday, he only used the long putter.

How’d it work out for him? Well, Scott finished the week ranked 19th in Stroked Gained: Putting, according to reports. But while he did roll in his share of putts — most notably birdie putts on holes No. 12 (12 feet 8 inches) and 13 (6 feet 7 inches) on Sunday — it was a missed birdie opportunity from 6 feet 6 inches on the par-5 17th that all but ended his chances at running down eventual champion Brooks Koepka. He then tentatively stroked a 15-foot par putt at the last, leaving him two feet short of the hole, and just one shot short of a tie for second place with Tiger Woods. Scott had to settle for a final-round 67 and a solo-third finish.

On the previously mentioned “Live From” program on Sunday night, after the event, David Duval called for Scott to consider switching full time to the short stick, leaving the non-anchored long putter out of the bag.

What do you think? Use the short putter from here on out, or keep going with the dual-putter setup?

Here’s Scott’s full Sunday setup (he went with 3 wedges instead of his usual 4 with the two-putter setup):

Driver: Titleist TS3 (10.5 degrees)
Shaft: Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-7X

Fairway Wood: Titlest 915F (16.5 degrees)
Shaft: Fujikura Pro Tour Spec

Irons: Titleist 716 T-MB (3 iron), Titleist 680 (4-9)
Shafts: KBS Tour (X-Flex)

Wedges: Titleist Vokey SM7 (48-08F, 54-08F and 60-06K)
Shafts: True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100

Putters: Scotty Cameron Kombi CS Long and SC-340

Golf Ball: Titleist Pro V1

    Two putters, what a revolution!
    Before 1900 a lot of bags included a long and a short putter.
    Preferably for the game on links courses.

      … but wedges were not yet invented nor necessary on those cow pasture courses. And then there was the “stymie” play on the “greens” using strange golf balls.

    If you do not intend to anchor, then by all means use the broom stick. If you anchor, just announce it was unintended, end of problem.
    If Adam got called on for anchoring, he could switch to the more acceptable legal putter stroke.

      The long shafted putter is an abomination to the game. Hands should be kept below the wrists on all clubs at address.

    I’m positive I saw a KBS shaft on one of his irons during the PGA. He had previously used KBS shafts prior to switching to the PX LZ in early 2016.

Testing Lorem Ipsum

Published

on


What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Why do we use it?

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

GolfWRX is on site for the second major of 2026: The PGA Championship from Aronimink in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.

The tournament’s location, just outside Philadelphia, and its status as a major championship mean GolfWRXers are in for a treat: WITBs from a strong field, custom gear celebrating the PGA Championship, and the rich culture of the City of Brotherly Love — we have noted a relative absence of cheesesteak-themed items thus far this week, but most of the rest of the usual suspects are well represented.
