MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Rory McIlroy arrived at the first PGA Tour playoff event at TPC Southwind wielding a new putter he’d plucked from the collection in his garage – a Scotty Cameron Phantom X T5.5 Tour Prototype mallet – and a simple outlook.
“I've got my [TaylorMade] Spider with me this week. If that putter isn't doing what I want it to do over the first couple days, I may go back. I just wanted to freshen it up,” he said Wednesday at the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
Through two rounds, the Scotty Cameron wasn’t exactly transforming McIlroy’s play on the greens.
