Bernhard Langer Says Anchored Putting Ban 'Never Made Any Sense'
"To me it never made any sense, and to a lot of people it doesn't…My
argument was always, if it's easier to putt that way, everybody would
putt that way, wouldn't you think? Out of 100 touring pros, you would
see 99 putting that way. And that's not the case…I don't think we ever
had more than 10-15 percent of the players, no matter at what level,
putt with an anchored putter. That just shows it's not easier. It's not
better. It only works for some."
He went on to explain how he feels that the ban could damage the game on the amateur or recreational levels:
"It's going to take a lot of joy and fun away from amateurs, whether
they have the yips or the shakes or they have a bad back and they'd
rather stand more upright because it hurts them to bend over with a
shorter putter."
