The long hitting South African Aldrich Potgieter will soon, just not today. This is what foiled his bid… The strong grip that helps him on the full swing hurts him on the short game like it has hurt many in golf history like Viktor Hovland and Dustin Johnson to name a few. The strong grip closes to the face which de-lofts the club which makes the ball come out low and hot. This relatively simple up and down on the front nine was just one example of the high soft shot that he does not employ yet. You can see him on the follow through try to open the face to add that loft that he was lacking through the shot. Good news is they said on the telecast today that Ernie Els was trying to teach him to use a weaker grip around the greens, which is wonderful advice from the sage veteran. That will help the face open more and have softer touch with the ball’s landing. Once he does that, look out for the longest hitter on the PGA Tour.
