Sometimes equipment changes don’t work out and, at the BMW PGA Championship<\/a>, Adam Scott returned to his trusty broom-stick putter after just one round at Wentworth.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the Major winner was spotted with a new L.A.B Golf putter in the bag<\/a>, with the big difference being that, for the first time in over a decade, he had opted for a conventional length flatstick.<\/p>\n

Using a L.A.B. Golf OZ.1i HS (Heel Shafted)<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n

Playing his first round at Wentworth<\/a> on Thursday, the Australian produced a two-under 70 that included 30 putts. This put him 109th in the field for the day, as well as his Putts Per GIR stats listing him 96th.<\/p>\n

Obviously not pleased with the performance on the greens, Scott returned to his trusty gamer, specifically a blue L.A.B. Golf MEZZ.1 Max<\/a> with a broom-handle design.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>.<\/p>\n
