Putting Tips-Ben Crenshaw On Putting and Harvey Penick

One of the greatest putters of all time, Ben Crenshaw, shares what he learned from one of the greatest teachers of all time - Harvey Penick.

The 1995 Masters

The memorable putts during the 1995 Masters were unforgettable. Harvey Penick passed away that week and it seemed as though something other than touch and talent coaxed the ball into the hole for Ben Crenshaw.

Key Putting Wisdom from Penick to Crenshaw

"Never try to look like anybody else when you putt. That means that everybody has their own comfort level in the way to get into a putt."

Penick's Final Advice

From his hospital bed, Harvey Penick's final advice to Ben Crenshaw was simple but powerful:

"Trust yourself."

This wisdom helped Crenshaw win the 1995 Masters just days after his mentor's passing - one of the most emotional victories in golf history.
