Luke List Putts With Wedge In Match Against Justin Thomas

Luke List had to putt with his wedge for most of the round on day one of the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play.

He was playing against world number two Justin Thomas in a rematch of their recent Honda Classic playoff.

List was two down after six holes and smashed his putter against a wall which bent it – meaning he had to putt with a wedge for the next 12 holes.

He went 3 down after seven but clawed it back to 1 down with one to play – and actually holed some nice putts with his wedge.

He made 1 birdie in the first six holes with his putter and three birdies in the next 12 with his wedge.

“I was walking off the 6th tee, and I was a little unhappy about the way I was feeling, a little under the weather,” said List.

“I’ll get the club fixed and it’ll be ready to go tomorrow.”

He holed this beauty from off the green on 15:
