Sometimes equipment changes don’t work out and, at the BMW PGA Championship, Adam Scott returned to his trusty broom-stick putter after just one round at Wentworth.
On Wednesday, the Major winner was spotted with a new L.A.B Golf putter in the bag, with the big difference being that, for the first time in over a decade, he had opted for a conventional length flatstick.

Using a L.A.B. Golf OZ.1i HS (Heel Shafted), a new model recently added to the L.A.B Golf range, Scott was also using a claw grip, something he hasn’t done previously.

Making the change, Scott had one less putt on Friday, but averaged the same amount of Putts Per GIR with 1.8. This put him tied 109th in the field.
Carding a three-under 69 on Friday, the 45-year-old produced a one-under 71 on Saturday, which included 30 putts on the greens. Going into Sunday, Scott sits in a share of 46th, nine shots back of leaders Alex Noren and Adrien Saddier.
The leaders will head out at 11.10am local time (BST), which is slightly earlier than expected due to incoming weather at Wentworth.
