PGA Tour Champions player Wes Short reverted to a one-handed chipping action at this week's Insperity Invitational as a result of having issues around the green. 

Short Jr, 59, is a one-time PGA Tour winner having captured the 2005 Michelin Championship at Las Vegas with a playoff victory over Jim Furyk.

He now plays his golf on the over 50s PGA Tour Champions circuit, and he revealed at this week's tournament how he has reverted to an unconventional chipping technique in a bid to improve his short game.

Short Jr said: 

"It’s to get my right hand off the club. I think my right hand has caused me some problems. If it’s not on the club, it can’t cause me any problems."

He admitted to chopping and changing between conventional and unconventional grips during the course of the tournament. 

Short Jr added: 

"I’ve been trying to work myself back into two, but I had quite a bit of trouble yesterday so I went back to one-handed for the last couple holes."

The American ended up finishing the week at 1-under par in a tie for 19th following rounds of 68, 77 and 70.

Short has won twice on the PGA Tour Champions with victories coming at the 2014 Quebec Championship and 2019 Shaw Charity Classic.

New Zealand's Steven Alker won this week's Insperity Invitational on 15-under par.

He finished four strokes clear of Steve Stricker.
