Big Play With Craig Shankland

WHO: Chris Couch

WHAT: 20-yard chip-in for par

WHERE: 471-yard par-4 18th hole at English Turn

WHEN: Final round of the Zurich Classic

WHY
Couch has guts. When he came down with the short-game yips, he wasn't afraid to try a cross-handed grip. Couch has always done what works, not what looks good, which is why he still plays with an unconventional head dip when he hits his irons. After two poor short shots at 17 Couch might've been tempted to try a standard grip on 18, where he played from the sand and then the rough, but he stuck to his guns and it worked.

CRAIG'S TIP
Chip Yips Rx: Left Hand Low

A cross-handed grip is a great way to cure the chip yips. It helps keep the lead hand firm and pulls the club through impact toward the target for a great finish. To go cross-handed, use a normal chip setup: a little extra weight over the lead foot, ball in the middle of the stance and the shaft leaning a bit forward. Also, use a 10-finger grip so that your hands remain stable.

"I don't think Greg Norman is as injured as he says he is. He's too busy off the course and doesn't care as much about competing anymore."
