Bryson DeChambeau has ditched his side-saddle putting approach, and he pins the reason for the switch directly on the USGA.After tinkering with a face-on putting style for several starts, DeChambeau returned to a conventional approach last week at the Genesis Open. But the rookie withdrew after 28 holes, and this week he missed the cut by four shots at the Honda Classic. After completing his second round, DeChambeau told Golf Digest the latest change away from side-saddle was not by design."The USGA essentially doesn't like me doing it," DeChambeau said. "I'm pretty much done with it. They're not a good organization, and you can quote me on that. I'm part of their family and as family it's very frustrating to see them stunt the growth of the game."DeChambeau began using the face-on technique at the Franklin Templeton Shootout in December, and he used it en route to a T-49 finish at last month's Sony Open. The next week he was informed that while the technique was permissible, the USGA had deemed one of the multiple putters he submitted for approval to be non-conforming.He switched to a different, face-on putter at the CareerBuilder Challenge and hasn't made a cut since, ranking 194th on Tour in strokes gained putting. DeChambeau declined a GolfChannel.com interview request following an opening-round 73 at PGA National.In 2015 DeChambeau became just the fifth player to win both the U.S. Amateur and NCAA individual title in the same year. He turned pro last summer and won a Web.com Tour Finals event to earn his PGA Tour card for the 2016-17 season. In 10 starts, he has made three cuts with a best finish of T-36 at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.
Bryson DeChambeau says he's done with side-saddle putting. After missing the cut by four shots at the Honda Classic, the 23-year-old told Golf Digest he's dropping the method he used for just over two months because "the USGA doesn't like me doing it." "I'm pretty much done with it," DeChambeau told Golf Digest.

I can understand Tiger trying to make an adjustment with the flat stick. He hasn't been as "Tiger-esque" as we are used to seeing as Woods is ranked 89th on Tour in strokes gained: putting. The anser style blade has typically been Woods' go-to, and I guess we'll find out today which putter he is going to try out.

The dude has the ability to flip a switch, the likes of which have rarely ever been seen in any sport. But my gracious, he is in one of the worst putting funks I have ever seen a PGA tour player have…at least from someone that could actually putt and putt well at one point. Spieth has as many missed cuts as he does Top-10's in 2018 (4 of each).
I'm curious about r/golf's putting. What putter and putting grip do you use? Length, specs, etc. Will you be affected by the proposed anchored putting rule change and if so, will you actually abide by the change or will you continue to use your anchored putter? I'm rolling a 34" Odyssey White Hot from 2006. I use a traditional right handed

It didn't work either, with DeChambeau missing the cut by four shots. DeChambeau, clearly frustrated, pointed the blame for his decision to abandon the sidesaddle style at the USGA, which had deemed one of the putters he submitted for approval with the intent of using it for sidesaddle putting as non-conforming, meaning he couldn't use it.
