With season on line, Justin Thomas ditches counterbalanced putter after one week

Justin Thomas’ latest putter experiment lasted just two rounds.

Thomas, who has switched putters on a few occasions in recent years, moved to a Scotty Cameron prototype Phantom X9 putter with a 38-inch counterbalanced shaft for last week’s 3M Open. However, after missing the cut in Minnesota and needing a strong finish at this week’s Wyndham Championship to crack the 70-man FedExCup Playoffs, Thomas has gone back to one of his trusty flatsticks, a Scotty Cameron X5 Tour Circle T with a 34.5-inch shaft.

“I just went back to my old faithful,” Thomas said Thursday after shooting even-par 70 at Sedgefield Country Club.
