Saunders uses Arnold Palmer's putter at Greenbrier - finishes T5
Sam Saunders used his grandfather's putter last week and found form with a T5 finish.
Sam Saunders used a putter belonging to his grandfather Arnold Palmer at A Military Tribute at the Greenbrier classic.
It seemed pay dividends - after missing four cuts in his last seven outings, the 30-year-old finished on -12, enough for T5.
Saunders reckons the last time the King used the flatstick was at the 2004 Masters, when he was on the bag for the seven-time major winner.
"When I first turned pro and got my first few starts on the PGA Tour in 2010, I used that putter and putted really well with it that year, actually," he told PGATour.com.
"As every young guy out here does, you see all these beautiful putters out here on the green and you have one bad week and you start trying everything else. I’m sure I’ll change again. But it’s a great putter and he did tell me it’s one he wanted me to use so hopefully it’s got some good luck in it."
Ranked 111th before the event, Saunders picked up shots on the field while on the greens at the Greenbrier.
Really cool to see Sam Saunders having success this week with an old @odysseygolf White Hot 2-Ball that was used by his grandfather Arnold Palmer. pic.twitter.com/t0VRbRo51G
