Top 10 LONGEST PUTTS of the PGA Tour season so far and the putters used
What's the longest putt you have ever made? Probably not as far as Graeme McDowell...
Struggling to make putts of any real distance? If so, like me, you'll probably be a little sick to see the length of these Top 10 tramliners on the PGA Tour so far this season.
While you fully expect PGA Tour professionals to clean up putts from short range, the percentage of holing a putt outside of 30 feet is actually remarkably small even for the likes of Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth and Tiger Woods.
So the next time you find yourself getting a bit deflated about not holing putts from distance, just remember the world's best don't always find the bottom of the cup.
However, these guys are good, and they do hole plenty of long-distance putts at some stage during their rounds, just as you will see in the below list.
Let's start at #10 and work our way down to #1.
