If I recall correctly, Nicklaus putted with a fairly open stance at various point in his career, especially the latter part. It wasn't quite 45 degrees, but it wasn't all that far away either.

You are correct. Jack's putting stance was open, which allowed him to look at the target from behind the ball. It did not require the split-hand grip that Snead used.Instead of looking over the top of the ball, it was more like aiming a rifle at the target. Worth a try.

Jack's putting stance was like the Hunchback of Notre Dame.
