What did Adam Scott do with his 'broomstick' putter?

From the start of 2016, golf introduced a rule change that banned so-called 'broomstick' putters. With a longer handle than a conventional one, players would anchor their putter to their chin or chest and strike the ball with a pendulum motion. Former world number one Adam Scott was an advocate of the now banned putter and, to say the least, sad to see it outlawed. Now though, using a conventional putter, the 2013 Masters champion has won a title on the PGA Tour - his first in two years. Scott took the Honda Classic, beating Sergio Garcia by one stroke at Palm Beach Gardens in Florida. And former Tour professional and 麻豆社 Golf summariser, Jay Townsend, says Scott found a novel way of disposing of his old 'broomstick' putter.
