The European Tour has, as expected, confirmed its support for the ban on anchoring of putters as proposed by the sports governing bodies, the Royal & Ancient and the US Golf Association.
While Tim Finchem, the commissioner of the PGA Tour in the United States, announced last week that he would oppose the formulation of rule 14-1b, his European counterpart, George O'Grady, last night gave the motion his backing, although he did concede that a number of his regular tour and senior tour members did employ the anchored method.
