NASSAU, Bahamas -- Even as soft-spoken and mild-mannered as he often is, Adam Scott did not hold him back when the anchored putter debate became heated. He was clearly against changing the rule, and did not hide that fact.
Scott believed it was unfair to players who had grown up with a method that had never been under scrutiny. And he noted, quite convincingly, that an anchored putting stroke was far from a magic wand on the greens.
Exactly three years to the week, when the United States Golf Association and R&A first announced their plans to have a "comment period" on a new rule that would ban the practice, Scott remains among the highest-profile of the players it affects the most.
