I like the Ping Eye 2, it makes our swing a lot more comfortable, don't you think?

Just an incredible waste of talent. Hard to imagine how much he could have won if he had taken ANY care of himself.

Used a Ping putter for years but never liked their other clubs. Knew a lot of people who did though..

Saw him for the 1st time in June 1991 after telling my buddies this kid is the longest on tour at the old Westchester Classic…we took one look at that swing and said this guy is going nowhere…a couple months later he wins the PGA going away….always had an eye for talent!
