The Level Left Wrist in Chipping

Don't know, mb, and it will be the WGC at Doral before I see the guys again. I'll ask.

Stay tuned!

One thing's for sure: Steve's left wrist does not Cock (perpendicular motion). Instead, it remains Level (straight line along the top of the left forearm to the first knuckle of the index finger).

Here's a photo -- click to enlarge, then click again to get really up close and personal -- I took (at the 2009 PGA Championship at Hazletine) of BG's top-of-Stroke chip/short pitch shot. Both players have the same action, and it is no coincidence that both are among the best short game players in the game today.
