Rickie Fowler made a subtle tweak to his ‘Tiger Woods putter’
Fowler returned to his usual Newport 2 GSS putter at the U.S. Open-he gave the backup a shot at Memorial-but had Cameron reps make one minor tweak to the face that had nothing to do with loft or lie angle. The “cherry bomb” was popularized by Tiger Woods, who started using the Newport 2 GSS in 1999 at the then-GTE Bryson Nelson Classic. Prior to shipping the putter to Woods, Cameron noticed the head weight was two swing-weight points too heavy, which led him to mill a dot in the back cavity and another in the heel of the face to get the weight just right. Fowler’s putter has similar dots in the cavity and face, but that’s not the only connection this particular flatstick has to the 15-time major winner’s prized Newport 2.Fowler made a trip to Cameron’s putter studio prior to the 2014 season to analyze his putting stroke and mechanics. While looking for a putter, Fowler and Paul Vizanko, Cameron’s fitting specialist, made a trip to the department’s mezzanine to see if there was anything that caught his eye.
Fowler opens with impressive 66 at U.S. Open
