Sadly for Daly, the epoxy on the hosel of his putter gave way late in the round, which contributed to three-putt bogeys on his final two holes for a 67. He was furious as he headed to the trailer to get it fixed.

Seriously, buy some SuperGlue or something, Dunlop.

Sounds like the same problem DiMarco had with his driver at the Masters, and many others have had. The quick-set epoxy used in many tour vans doesn't hold up as well as the stuff that is typically used at the factory. This is the downside for tour players who are constantly reshafting/tinkering, then expect to be able to go out and play with a club in a few minutes. It might hold for a while, but the long-term failure rate is much higher.

Daly's case(s) strike me as odd, though. These are putters. Unless they are heating the hosel to bend the lie (and weakening the epoxy in the process), there isn't much reason for the epoxy to go bad. Nice pub for Dunlop, eh?

If you sniff it too many times, maybe!
