CHARLOTTE, N.C. For the second straight day, Justin Thomas rolled around Quail Hollow with Rickie Fowlers putter in his bag.Thomas took 31 putts on Thursday and said he felt so desperate in terms of how [he] was feeling over the putter that he asked to borrow one of Fowlers backups, a Scotty Cameron Newport 2.The switch has paid some early dividends for Thomas, who backed up an opening 73 with rounds of 69-70 to get back to 1 under for the week.Hes gone from a negative in the strokes gained: putting column after 18 holes to almost picking up a full stroke on the field through 54. Still, the guy who won the PGA here last year is a little tough on himself.I wouldnt call it necessarily working. Im in 36th, he laughed. I putted really, really well today. I just didnt make anything.Thomas has had the bulk of his success on the PGA Tour employing the putter he ditched just two days ago, a Cameron Futura X5. But even a guy whos shot 59 on Tour and 63 in a U.S. Open can suddenly lose his feel with a club thats carried him to such great heights.

Thats the thing. I wasnt going to continue to use something that I thought I wasnt going to make putts with, Thomas said. Im a total advocate of using what works. [My putter] has been great to me for a while, and its not to say I wont go back next week or down the road, but a putter needs to be on your good side, and feeling good in your hands. It wasnt feeling good in my hands.As for what comes next, Thomas intends to have a Newport 2 of his own made for next week.Ill have something made up of my own so I can give Ricks back, he said. I used a putter like this my entire life until I used that one. So its an easy, easy adjustment.Ill use [something] identical to this, basically. The exact same as this just mine, not his.Whether hell use the new blade at The Players is another matter.Oh, I dont know. Whatever is working for me. Ill play with a shovel, he said.
