Adam Scott has defended his use of the long putter after showing up with the club at Augusta National on Sunday.
Scott said the Masters is too important for him to keep experimenting with the short putter that he used during the Florida swing, which had mixed results.
The anchored stroke used for the long putter will be outlawed in 2016 but the Australian admits he will be using the longer club for some time come yet.
He said: "It just seemed like the sensible thing to do. I'm not here to just see what happens, I'm here to get the job done.
“The odds are more in my favour with the longer putter, considering I've used it over the last four years.
"It's a process. I've got time up my sleeve to change. If you call the last few weeks a bit of an experiment, it's good to know that I learned things about what I was doing, what I think about and what my principles are in the putting.
“But I certainly think I'll be putting with the longer putter later on this year.”
Scott tied for fourth on the fast greens of Doral but missed a series of short putts at Innisbrook and also missed the cut for the first time in nearly three years on the PGA Tour.
His putting was suspect a week later at Bay Hill when a good start turned into a tie for 35th and so going back to the long putter was hardly a problem, and Scott smiled when asked if it was similar to going back to an old girlfriend.
"It depends on the girlfriend," he said.
