AKRON, Ohio – Most players wouldn’t switch putters a week after winning on the PGA Tour, but then Dustin Johnson isn’t most players.
After opening his week at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational with rounds of 69-71, Johnson said he changed to a TaylorMade Spider Mini putter. The result was a 10 under par weekend and a top-5 finish at Firestone.
“I felt like even the first two rounds I played OK, but I struggled on the greens a little bit,” said Johnson, who closed with a 64 on Sunday. “I felt like I was working really hard on the putting and it just wasn't getting any better, so I switched putters and it worked a little bit.
