Lee Janzen, 53 this month, had a solid first full season on the Champions Tour in 2015, winning an event and finishing 14th in the Charles Schwab Cup points. He was second in putting average.
In 2016, Janzen's putting fell to 53rd and he was 56th in Schwab points. What happened to your putting last season?
"That's a great question,'' Janzen said. "It was at this tournament last year that I changed my putter. It's been better.''
Janzen enters the 3M Championship rated 14th in putting and 15th in Schwab Cup points with three top-10s.

Reusse: Shaver was 'Voice of the North Stars' and an all-time great guy
Al Shaver, who had a premier standing among Minnesota sports radio voices, died Monday at 96. He made many friends and called it like he saw it.
Wolves
Reusse: There's no doubt Finch is the right coach for the Wolves
Chris Finch is a finalist for NBA Coach of the Year, but he brings more to the table than just victories, including lessons learned in faraway places.
Twins
Reusse: How bad are the White Sox? They made Twins look good.
The offense is still mired in a terrible start, but Twins' hitters and pitcher Chris Paddack looked rejuvenated on Monday. The White Sox looked like, well, the White Sox.
Vikings
Reusse's Tortured Columnist Department update: Yes, Vikings won the offseason
The Vikings have made nearly two full albums-worth of smart moves, including letting Cousins go and bringing in Aaron Jones. Will this unusual trend continue in the draft?
Wolves
Reusse: Wolves need stopper for Booker? NAW, it's not a problem.
The best way to stop Phoenix scoring threat Devin Booker may be on the Timberwolves bench, which means there could be extra minutes for Nickeil Alexander-Walker.
