McIlroy using cross-handed putting grip for Doral and beyond

DORAL, Fla. – Early Wednesday morning, Rory McIlroy unveiled via Instagram that he’d spent his time since missing the cut at last week’s Honda Classic practicing a new putting stroke.

On Wednesday afternoon at Doral he confirmed he plans to play this week’s WGC-Cadillac Championship, and any foreseeable events, putting cross-handed, or left-hand low.

“It's a drill, and I've putted a lot just with my left hand,” said McIlroy, who needed 58 putts last week for two days at PGA National. “It's one of those things where the drill started to feel a little bit better than the real thing, so I'm just going to stick with it.
