PARAMUS, N.J. – Phil Mickelson once played a Masters with two drivers in his bag and a U.S. Open with no driver, so Adam Scott’s theory for carrying two putters is hardly groundbreaking. “Logically, it sounds good to me to have a putter you like for long putts and one for short putts, if that’s […]
