Winner's bag: The putter Steven Bowditch rolled to victory with at the Byron Nelson

Steven Bowditch is notorious for changing putters. Not just from tournament to tournament, but even round to round. But Bowditch's latest switch seems to have agreed with him. At the AT&T Byron Nelson, Bowditch used a custom-made Bettinardi Queen B Model 6 made from double-aged stainless steel (as opposed to carbon steel used in the production model). The putter, which is 34 inches in length with 2 degrees of loft, also has some 10 grams of lead tape.

"I felt it was getting light in my hands and, you know, I often do those things, just add some weight or take some weight off depending on how it's feeling. It's a pretty easy solution," said Bowditch, who ranked first in strokes gained/putting in winning the Nelson for his second PGA tour title.   Ball: Titleist Pro V1x
