Matt Green is best known for his powerful, sweeping draw, but the Kansas State golfer is starting to appreciate the value of a fade.
Since tweaking his swing at the advice of K-State golf coach Grant Robbins last year, Green won his first college tournament and earned an invitation to his first NCAA regional, which will be held Thursday at The Farms Golf Club in Santa Fe, Calif.
“When I first saw him last summer, I thought his golf swing needed a little bit of work,” Robbins said. “He hit too big of a curving, right-to-left shot and we worked on being a little more consistent with his ball striking and being able to hit a left-to-right shot.
