Matt Every's Late Collapse Saves Us from a Fad of Oversized Putters

Matt Every did all golf fans a favor by collapsing in the final round of the Sony Open. Every came out of nowhere to head into the final round of play tied for first at -12. 

However, he fell off his pace and wound up with a 10th-place tie at -10. 

Had he kept up his torrid play from the early rounds, by the end of the season the tour would have no doubt been inundated with this putter, which was obviously designed by aliens. 

The Shoebox Called a Putter

There is never a shortage of players that go through putting struggles. This happens on all levels and the PGA is no different. When these struggles happen, players look for anything to snap them out of it, and a new putter is usually one of the first places they turn. 

A huge rise in the use of belly putters last year is a testament to this fact. If a new putter is working for one player, countless others are sure to give it a try. And this odd-looking putter was about to become the new fad. 

The Appreciated Collapse 

Every's final round was marred by bad putting. He missed several easy putts, and struggled to a 2-over-par round, as his mystical cable box putter failed him.  

This putting collapse should be enough to turn attention away from his alien brick putter, and Every can take solace in the fact that his meltdown was a public service.

For now, our golf broadcast should be safe from a mass assault of this visual atrocity of a putter.
