Arron Oberholser on Scottie, Shinnecock & the Craziest Putter Story Ever
6/10/202645 min
Golf Channel analyst and former PGA Tour winner Arron Oberholser joins Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme to swap incredible Tour stories, break down Scottie Scheffler's current swing, and preview the upcoming U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills.
Arron tells the unbelievable story of winning a tournament after bending his putter and using a wedge on the greens, shares old-school short game techniques that today's players rarely use, explains why Scottie's iron play may not be quite as sharp as we're accustomed to seeing, and gives his thoughts on who could surprise at the next major championship.
