Golf Writers Compare Locke and Ghezzi Styles
Ben Hogan notes differences between Ghezzi and Locke in approach and accuracy. Ghezzi aims straight then shoves shots. Locke targets right and hooks back to the fairway. Locke’s wrists roll on many shots and his grip resembles Dai Rees and Charley Ward. Locke is praised as a top putter with a longer stroke suited to larger greens observed on tour.
