Golf is full of ‘if onlys’. Here’s one: if only I could hole out like the pros. If only I could putt, for example, like Collin Morikawa. As it stands, heading into the 2024 FexEx St. Jude Championship, the former Open champion is one of eight PGA Tour players this season to have made every putt he has faced from three feet and in. Every. Single. One. That’s 643/643.
The man currently leading the way in this particular category is Brendon Todd. He’s made all 806 efforts from this range. It’s hard not to ponder just how much of a difference it would make to our own game if we were suddenly gifted with that unerring ability to hit the back of the cup from short range, time and time again. Needless to say we’d certainly find the game more enjoyable – and mutter fewer rude words when walking off the green.
