    If you mean worst putter ever because he gets penalized every time…

  2. Making five or so 4-6 foot putts isn’t all that impressive anyways…

  3. Fancy-Pie-2565

    Bryson did something similar but he didn’t straddle his line. IIRC PGA tour asked him to stop because it was embarrassing

    This is an illegal stroke.

    10.1c

    Making Stroke While Standing Across or on Line of Play

    The player must not make a stroke from a stance with a foot deliberately placed on each side of, or with either foot deliberately touching, the line of play or an extension of that line behind the ball.
    For this Rule only, the line of play does not include a reasonable distance on either side.

    Exception – There Is No Penalty If Stance Is Taken Accidentally or to Avoid Another Player’s Line of Play.

    If he took a step to his right he’d be alright, but unfortunately this is an illegal stance

  6. Cool_Hawks

    Why does he always just walk away after made putt? Does he expect his golf butler to pick the ball out every time? Prick.

  7. For anyone interested, the legal version of this is typically called “sidesaddle putting”. This ain’t it.

    That’s two blows to the scorecard, nice putt tho

    Sam Snead used to putt similar to this then they changed the rules but looks like he’s straddling line to me

    Sometimes dignity needs to stand in the way of making a putt.

    I’ll fool around and side saddle on short putts from time to time. Seems to work well for me. But I make sure not to straddle the line like this guy.

    That’s Kenny Mayne. Sports broadcaster for ESPN

  13. Tjshoema

    He is wearing a right ankle foot orthotic (ago) so he likely has foot drop and may have other underlying weaknesses that may make traditional putting harder for him.

    My 2.5 year old putts like this with her fisher price set 🤣🤣

  15. at-the-crook

    when Sam Snead did that on tour, the rule was changed to make it not allowed

  16. OutsideCombination64

    They banned it cuz it was too good

  17. Murderbot20

    No havent seen but I know its not legal anyway

  18. Anxious_Peak_9013

    I’m pretty sure that isn’t legal

  19. Low-Client-2555

    My buddy putts side saddle similar to this. He stands off to the side a little so it is legal. Best putter i know

    Instead of the title “Has anyone seen this style of putting” it should be “Watch this illegal putting stroke that resulted in 30 penalty strokes”

    I dont follow rules at all. im there to have a good time not get pissed off and angry

    Iv left groups in middle of a round because they got so stickler, idgaf if you don’t like my foot wedge kicking it 25 yards into the fairway

  22. shownoughjones

    Yes, he only did it on 5 feet and in, but I thought he was lining it up at first and then he took a little swing like that. It was insane.

  23. This dude is the Rick Barry of the golf game

  24. ddnp9999

    Looks like he’s straddling the line which I believe makes this a penalty

  25. awfuckthisshit

    The stroke isn’t as weird as running away from the hole every time he putts
