Wie Pushes Back: Jack Bent Pretty Low Too

It is funny to hear how many people were taken aback by Michelle Wie's putting stance over the last year or so, but now that it's working she's pushing back just a bit.

And while golf has had many great putters doing it all sorts of strange ways, Wie picked a pretty good example and with help from the editors at golf.com, has photographic evidence to back up her assertion (and show she has better posture).

From AP's Janie McCauley on the eve of the Swinging Skirts in San Francisco, a new LPGA event.

“I did it like about two years ago, year and a half ago now. … just something that I felt feel comfortable with,” Wie said. “I haven't had a plan to keep with it or not keep it. Just feels comfortable and I see the line better.”

Her putting style was not inspired by Jack Nicklaus, who in his prime bent over his putts to see the line, Wie said.

“I practice at the Bear's Club and there are pictures of Jack everywhere.,” Wie said. “I saw a picture of him like putting and I was like, Oh, he is actually pretty low as well. I don't feel that bad anymore.”
