Pretty awesome seeing Luke win as a 37 year old for the first time. Gotta have a true love for the sport to keep on pursuing that first win.
 

In one of his interviews he said he completely revamped his putting this last year with his coach. While it didn’t look like it when he missed 2 4 footers and 1 10 footer down the stretch, Luke was +0.40 SG in putting in the tournament compared to his season avg of -0.46 SG in putting.

The mental issues Z is facing with the putter are going to be tough to beat, and I’m not sure it’s taken care of anytime soon. He’s already in an armlock, he uses a non-traditional grip with it too, and that hasn’t removed the yips yet. Gonna be a long row to hoe, and not likely complete by the time he gets to the Masters.

Yes.  I was listening to the commentary and about Will's flat stick woes; that being a reason he did not get offers from bigger named college programs.  That last putt was in the same line as the one he missed in regulation and it looked like a straight up nerves/tension pull... not even close.  No doubt that wedge from List and his decision to tap in got into Will's head.  Definitely a tough loss but I think it will actually be a benefit long term. Because he's got such prowess across the rest of the game, he can spend extra time getting the putter tuned.  I wouldn't bet against him in the Masters.
