Sedalia Dave Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 US Army veteran, 60, wins Arizona golf event using only putter Quote An amateur golfer putted his way to victory at an Arizona event over the weekend. Anthony Griggs, a 60-year-old Army veteran, is among the newcomers of the Golfweek Amateur Tour. He went on to win the D Flight at Whirlwind Golf Club at Wild Horse Pass in Chandler, shooting an 84. Griggs, remarkably, used only a putter during the entire round, according to Golfweek. The Gary, Ind., native moved to Arizona in 2001 and started using a putter while playing after he lost interest in the sport. It was suggested by a friend that he used the putter to increase the difficulty. Griggs was set to use a Scotty Cameron putter for the tournament, which runs for about $400 on the traditional golf equipment websites. However, he broke it while practicing. According to Golfweek, Griggs went to a nearby goodwill store and bought a Wilson Staff putter for $2.99 that he used for the event. He won by six strokes. He also made one birdie during his round. Nobody else listed in the top 11 recorded a birdie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
