Scott feels he has long and short of putting (Reuters)

MELBOURNE (Reuters) - The road back to using a short putter has inevitably been a long one for Adam Scott but the former world number one is confident his commitment to the conventional stick should help him get back to playing his best golf.

Scott began weaning himself off the broomstick putter, which he won the 2013 U.S. Masters with, earlier this year but returned to its comforts at the bigger tournaments when the going got tough.

With a ban on anchoring putters set to kick in next year, the Australian committed to the change before last month's Presidents Cup and has stuck to his task despite some setbacks.
