Players Championship: Scottie Scheffler finds putting form before Sawgrass defence

Scheffler switched to a more forgiving mallet-headed putter from his usual blade one for last week's tournament at Bay HillLive radio commentary on BBC 5 Live Sports Extra and text updates on BBC Sport website of round three of Saturday and Sunday's final round from 18:00 GMT

It was the American's first PGA Tour triumph since the prestigious Players Championship title last March and, while he again led many statistical ball-striking categories, it was his performance on the greens that piqued interest. "It's not like I've been a bad putter my whole career. I've just gone through a stretch where it's been tough."

However, despite his troubles with the 'Texas wedge', Scheffler posted 17 top-10 finishes in 2023 - the most since Vijay Singh in 2005 - and finished outside the top 10 only four times in 19 events since the 2023 Players. But he feels the work with Kenyon, who has also coached English major winners Justin Rose and Matt Fitzpatrick, is beginning to show fruitful signs.
