Xander’s armlock putting experiment is over!
After fiery comments at the Memorial calling for the style to be banned, Xander adopted the style with little success. Prior to switching, he was averaging 0.737 Strokes Gained Putting per round, compared to a loss of -0.055 strokes per round after the switch. Was he wrong, or did he just not give himself enough time to get used to the style?
For reference, Bryson went from -0.192 SGP in 2017, then got worse in his first 10 rounds with armlock, with -0.243 SGP before getting comfortable and finishing the season gaining 0.34 SGP per round.
