Alignment is the foundation of the three-time
major champion’s putting stroke.
“Understanding where you’re aligned,
understanding where your putter is aligned is
very important,” Spieth says.
“That’s when my putting goes o ... It is when
even if I’m a degree o in my alignment, when I
set it down and I look at the centre of the hole,
my putter face is pointed at the right centre,
right edge. This is especially true on a course
like Augusta National where you have to be
perfect with your speed and matching the line
with speed.”
Spieth works on his alignment by using an
alignment stick pointed at the right edge of a hole
on a straight putt. He then places the toe of his
putter alongside the stick.
“That’s when I know my putter is
perpendicular to it and know it’s pointed right to
the middle of the hole. That’s something that I do
that is very helpful for me.”86 AUGUST 2019 | golf australia
