Keegan Bradley on Riv 10...1, 2 or 3 putts?
« on: February 21, 2021, 09:25:42 AM »
Keegan Bradley had a 59' putt downwind and downhill on Rivera's 10th yesterday, just before play was called for high winds.   His first putt rolled past the pin and some 20+ feet off the green.  He then pitched back on and one putted for his 5.


My question is...per PGA Tour Shot Link rules, did Bradley 1-putt, 2-putt, or 3-putt?  I could argue for any of the three. 


Same thing happened to me at NGLA's 6th (my first putt went into a bunker) about 45 years ago!!

I’m sure it’s happened to many/most of us.  I think there should be a stat for “2 putts - NC” where NC means non-consecutive.  His situation also begs the question of whether his up & down for bogey should be counted favorably under the scrambling category.

I can’t find it on their site any,ore, but I believe the tour still counts every stroke from the first one made from the putting green until the ball is holed.

When I was a Walking Scorer for a number of US Opens they instructed us that once the ball was on the green all subsequent shots were putts.
Be the ball
