Prior to this week's Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, Tommy Fleetwood put a new putter in the bag. The Englishman was spotted with a new TaylorMade Truss putter as shared by SMS on Tour on Instagram.
The putter was solid for Fleetwood, but he was incredibly solid tee to green and didn't necessarily need to hole many putts of significant length in order to go low. Fleetwood made eight birdies and one eagle on his round and only needed to hole one putt longer than 9 feet to do so (11 feet 7 inches on the 14th hole.
Although Fleetwood has yet to earn a victory on the PGA Tour, that has not been an issue on the DP World Tour. He's won seven times on the circuit and will look to add another this week in Abu Dhabi in the Rolex Series event.
