This Was As Good Of A Putter Punt As You'll Ever See On Tour
Golf is a brutally tough game, and it's frustrating as all hell. And that's even for all of us ordinary hackers out there who can string together one good round for every 7-8 dog shit rounds. I can't even imagine how frustrating the game must be when you're one of the best golfers on the planet, and even you can't get that dumb little piece of shit ball to go where you want.
Patton Kizzire has won 3 times on the PGA Tour. There are guys who can get lucky enough to win once on tour. That list starts to shrink to probably well under 200 for winning 3 times on tour. You and I would have no business making this putt, but there'd still be a part of you that would be disgusted with yourself for missing it. For Patton Kizzire, it's time to launch that putter to the moon.
Look at the form on that thing.
Toes are pointed to the sky. Incredible extension on that leg. Good, sturdy plant with the left foot.
It's so easy for this to go wrong. You could fuck your shin up by catching the putter head. You could boot the putter back up into your own face. You could whiff entirely. There are so many ways for this to go wrong, but Patton Kizzire ended making great contact with this thing and getting some tremendous air time. It almost travelled all the way off the green. Bad read, sketchy stroke, but what a boot.
P.S. -- The clubs are catching a beating this week down at the Valspar.
