DeChambeau has toyed with side-saddle in the past, including in a college tournament, the Jones Cup, in which he had the lead going into the final day. At the time, however, he said he didn't have the proper-length putter for it. Side-saddle has been used only sparingly at the game's highest level. K.J. Choi toyed with it for a few tournaments in 2010, and Sam Snead used it at the end of his career -- this after his initial method of putting croquet-style with the ball between his legs, was declared illegal.
