CRESWELL, OR — Charles Howell III is known as one of the nicest guys on tour. And last week, he was one of the best putters in the world.
Howell III put on a clinic at the LIV Golf Mayakoba to win for the first time since 2018. And there was never a doubt on Sunday, as he recorded just 22 putts in the final round with his L.A.B. Golf LINK.1 Custom putter to finish at 16-under par, four shots clear of the field.
With the win, Howell III became the first tour player to win with LINK.1, L.A.B. Golf’s new heel-toe weighted blade that earned a Gold Medal in Golf Digest’s 2023 Hot List – Best Blade Putters.
WATCH: LINK.1 From L.A.B. Golf: The Blade With Lie Angle Balance
“What’s different about LINK.1 compared to any other blade putter on the market is that it has Lie Angle Balance and zero torque,” said L.A.B. Golf CEO Sam Hahn. “So while it looks like a blade putter, it’s a lot easier to use.
Most golfers feel the absence of torque immediately, and the positive benefits multiply over time. With a Lie Angle Balanced putter, golfers generally see their setup and path improve – all because they’re no longer fighting torque in their stroke.”

LINK.1 is available in two models: LINK.1 CUSTOM and LINK.1 STOCK.
