That's why he's had four top-6 finishes in his last five events since he switched. The rest of his game is elite. ⁣ ⁣⁣ We've been saying, "You're a better putter than you think." That's true for Lucas and so many others. Just at the #WyndhamChampionship, we had four players using our putter in the top-7. ⁣ To Broom or not to Broom, that is the question! Ban Brooms and arm lock for pros?
