Jon doesn't miss much from 10 inches.
It happened during the opening round of the tournament.
The world's No. 1 went to clean up a 10-inch putt for par on the par 3 seventh hole, decelerated his putter just before contact and watched his ball barely make it halfway to the hole. He missed the follow-up putt for a bogey, which was the shortest missed putt of the season by any player.
I wish I could give you all the excuses in the world, but no, it was just 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 I just didn't stop, I don't know. It was very strange.
I have seen many things. I have seen the putter get stuck on a blade of grass on the way back and do something funky, but you are not paying attention. I have seen many things from a foot. Some of the best putters in the world miss it because they don't take a proper stance.
By the end of the round, he was tied for 51st with an even-par 72.
It was largely to blame. He finished second in strokes gained approach, but was 114th out of 120 players in strokes gained putting. The reigning U.S. Open champion had been perfect on putts inside 3 feet all season.
He said that it sucks to give away a shot like that.
