Collin Morikawa had one of the best putting rounds of his career in the opening round of the Sentry Tournament of Champions thanks to a handy new move.

"The open palms was to try to get his forearms aligned with the putter shaft, but square to his putter line. "We've been communicating almost every day on his putting thoughts and feels," Sweeney says. "It's something he was comfortable with in practice, so he transferred it to the golf course." The incentive on these drills was to die your putts into hole, because you'd have to make the comebacker afterwards. But on Thursday, it was his putter that proved the difference: Morikawa gained more strokes with his putter (1.662) than any other club in his bag. He told me: 'I want you to really help me understand the basics and the fundamentals.'"
