3M Championship – Champions Tour
The 2nd place finisher at the 3M Championship played a SuperStroke Slim grip and ranked 1st in Putts Per Round and 1st in Putts Per GIR for the event. He averaged 27 putts per round with a 1.533 putts per greens in regulation.
“This is the best I’ve putted in years and it is all due to the SuperStroke grip,” said the former major winner.
The Champions Tour rookie put a SuperStroke grip into play for his first Champions Tour event and has since turned in 5 straight Top 25 finishes, placing T6, T16, T14, T24 and 2nd respectively. He currently ranks 29th in the Charles Schwab Cup standings after only 5 events.

Last year’s PGA Championship winner also put a SuperStroke Slim into play and finished T15 in Putts Per GIR. He is expected to use the grip again this week when he defends his major title at the 92nd PGA Championship at Whistling Straits.
