Who said Westwood can't putt?

Just nailed a cracker on 17. Come on Lee.

Shame about the back 9, but 2 more 68's and i don't think he'll be far off. :thup:

Ian Baker Finch has been giving him the putting tips

 

[bobmac]

His arms are much straighter when he putts.....less elbows out as before

In interview he's mentioned 'more connection' - which reflects your observation.

Isn't it all psychological... Ok, so you need basic technique... But I reckon it's just about concentrating on something new. Woods got the Stricker tip a while back and won. Will woods now putt as good every week... No chance, he'll have good and bad weeks and when he has bad weeks it won't be because he forgot about Stricker's advice.

If Westwood putts terrible tomorrow will he have forgotten the advice he got... Doubt it.

Too much given to these Eureka moment tips in my opinion..

Do you think he has been using a v-easy Bob ?

 

[HawkeyeMS]

I'm actually starting to think Westwood can now putt

 

[USER1999]

We will find out later tomorrow.

Just watching him on the practice green
He seems to "hit" his putts rather than swing

Hope he keeps his touch today and brings it home

 

[sev112]

On the 3rd, camera from behind showed that he clearly cut across the ball ... That's not good

 

[sev112]

Excellent birdie putt on 5th

 

[FairwayDodger]

Nope, old Lee is back. Pulling them or tentatively leaving them short.

 

[sev112]

Another two cut putts, last one to leave birdie putt on 14 short
So frustrating

Did anyone watching that seriously think he putted badly this weekend or today? If so, I must be watching another game. Lost due to poor iron play, which is very strange for Westwood.

I agree that it wasn't bad putting that lost it.

But it's great putting that wins it. That's what Phil did today and what Tiger did at times throughout the first 3 days. Lee certainly putted well on Friday, but nothing really threatened today unfortunately.

His putting does look a lot better than a few months ago though!

Not the putter that lost it. Sticking it into filthy lies in bunkers does that for you
