The bizarre tool this Solheim Cupper used to fix her putting

Brittany Lincicome’s putting woes are a thing of the past, thanks to a strange new tool that she’s been using. The Solheim Cup star has been struggling on the greens for years, but she’s finally found a solution that works.

It all started when Lincicome was working with her coach, Butch Harmon. Harmon suggested that she try using a putting mirror, which is a device that helps golfers see their stroke from behind. Lincicome was hesitant at first, but she eventually gave it a try.

She was amazed at the results. The putting mirror helped her to see her stroke from a different perspective, and it quickly improved her alignment and consistency. Lincicome has been using the putting mirror for several months now, and her putting has improved dramatically. She’s now one of the most consistent putters on the LPGA Tour, and she’s confident that she can continue to improve.
