DORAL, Fla. (AP) Rory McIlroy is shaking up his putting technique by going to a cross-handed grip for the Cadillac Championship, and he plans to stick with it.
McIlroy posted a video on Instagram of him putting with the left hand low, then confirmed in his news conference that it was worth a try. He said he typically practices that way to make sure he keeps the right hand from influencing the putting stroke.
