Will Zalatoris may put the heart crossways in anyone watching his putting from inside eight feet, yet there were times the American – who runs the putter aside his left arm while using a claw grip with his right hand – used it like a magic wand from long distance in an opening round of the US PGA at Southern Hills that enabled him to sign for an opening round 66.
Zalatoris’s reaction to that missed cut was, as he put it in Ben Hogan-like terminology, “to dig it out of the ground” in hitting the practice range over the weekend before making the trip to Tulsa. “The beauty of it is it’s just never as far off as you feel,” he claimed. “I grinded pretty hard the last three, four days, but I think it was more the talks than anything that I would probably attribute to a day like today.”
Clearly, though, he has found a way to bring the right kind of game and focus to them and a way to contend, attributing his ball-striking – the strongest part of his game – as being the reason.
Awesome surname.
