Faldo To Surrender Jacket And Putter

Defending champion Nick Faldo didn’t make the cut but will be around Sunday to pass the green jacket along to the next champion.

His instructor, David Leadbetter, said Faldo then will have to make a serious decision about changing his putter.

“Nick is hitting the ball as good as he has ever hit it but he’s lost his confidence with his putter. His biggest goals this year were to win the U.S. Open and the PGA, the two majors he has yet to win. But he must start making the 3- or 4-footers again. That’s how you win majors.”
