PGA Tour Champions player Wes Short reverted to a one-handed chipping action at this week's Insperity Invitational as a result of having issues around the green.
Short Jr, 59, is a one-time PGA Tour winner having captured the 2005 Michelin Championship at Las Vegas with a playoff victory over Jim Furyk.
He now plays his golf on the over 50s PGA Tour Champions circuit, and he revealed at this week's tournament how he has reverted to an unconventional chipping technique in a bid to improve his short game.
