RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. – Michelle Wie’s return to golf comes with yet another change in her game.
The incorrigible tinkerer will be using a new putting grip at this week’s ANA Inspiration.
She has adopted a “left-arm lock” style of putting, similar to what Matt Kuchar uses, with a belly length putter anchored against her left arm, with a left-hand low grip.
“It’s very, very new,” swing coach David Leadbetter said. “It is sort of a legal anchor, I suppose. A few guys are doing it now. She’s excited about it. She said it feels really, really good.
