Kenny Knox, 3-time PGA Tour Champion
In the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, three-time PGA Tour winner Kenny Knox was known for his outstanding short game skills, including his trademark putting stroke – a smooth pendulum motion that was the envy of fellow pros. They wondered how Kenny could play so poorly off the tee, yet make so many cuts. “I knew I was never out of a tournament,” says Knox, "because I was confident of nailing my approach shots to within easy birdie distance. Sure, I was a very good putter, but I was even better at chipping and pitching." As a testament to this, he still holds the record for fewest putts in a 72-hole PGA Tour tournament. “I owe much of my short game prowess to Seve Ballesteros, who graciously shared his amazing short game knowledge with me.”
In this video, Kenny shares his simple, yet effective, chipping and pitching techniques that will really make a difference in your short game.
Some highlights from Kenny’s career include:
- All-American at Florida State
- Winner of the 1986 Honda Classic
- Winner of the 1987 Hardee’s Classic
- Winner of the 1990 Southern Open
- More than two dozen Top 10 Finishes on the PGA Tour
