Scottie Scheffler shoots 62 after making a mid-event equipment change
Well, that was quick.
At the 2022 CJ Cup in South Carolina, Scottie Scheffler debuted an all-new Scotty Cameron T-5.5 Proto putter to help with his starting lines on the greens.
Here’s a look at the custom putter made for Scheffler:
The mallet putter replaced his former Scotty Cameron Special Select Timeless Tourtype GSS Prototype blade putter, pictured below, that Scheffler used to win four times in 2022.
Switching to a new mallet putter seemed drastic at the CJ Cup, because Scheffler was so successful with a blade putter previously.
He ultimately finished T45 at the 2022 CJ Cup using the new mallet.
For the first two rounds of the 2022 World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba, Scheffler was still employing the custom mallet putter, recording rounds of 65 and 71.
On Saturday, however, as reported by PGATour.com, Scheffler switched back into the four-time winning putter that he used previously. He proceeded to shoot rounds of 68 and 62 on Saturday and Sunday, vaulting him up the leaderboard; Scheffler is currently T3 as of the writing of this article.
“It never goes too far away,” said Scheffler, regarding his trusty blade putter. “It’s probably something I’ll continue to fiddle around with, but I went back to something I’m really comfortable with, and I putted well the last two days.”
When a certain golf club isn’t performing well, sometimes all it takes is a quick trip to the timeout closet to spark success (shoutout to Kris McCormack at True Spec Golf for the reference).
We’ll keep you informed of any further drama that happens with Scheffler’s putter going forward.
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

Yep, confidence is key. Imagine the confidence over the ball knowing the exact break for EACH & EVERY putt for the speed you prefer to hole putts. P&SI-EGOS gives you that, guaranteed and on ebay.
