Austin Eckroat Sinks 16-Foot Putt on No. 17 at World Wide Technology

Austin Eckroat sank a 16-foot putt for birdie on the 17th hole during the World Wide Technology tournament, adding to a busy stretch of clutch putting that has defined his recent rounds on the course.

That conversion on No. 17 sits alongside a long catalog of similar mid-range makes recorded in recent months, illustrating a player who frequently finds his rhythm on the greens when playing late-round holes.

Recent Putting Milestones on Tour

Eckroat’s performance at the World Wide Technology event follows a consistent pattern of long-range and mid-range makes documented across multiple tournaments. Earlier in the same event, he drained a 13-foot birdie putt on No. 18, an 11-foot putt on No. 10, a 41-foot birdie putt on No. 9, and holed a 56-foot greenside shot for birdie on No. 8. His earlier records also include sinking a 7-foot putt for birdie on No. 15 at Butterfield Bermuda.

His ability to capitalize from distance extends back through the summer schedule. During the 3M Open in July, he drained an 11-foot birdie putt on No. 12, hit a tee shot to 6 feet to set up birdie on No. 4, and got up-and-down from 97 yards for birdie on No. 1. At the Rocket Classic in July, he hit a tee shot to 3 feet to set up birdie on No. 15. During the Wyndham tournament in August, he drained a 16-foot birdie putt on No. 16 and a 36-foot birdie putt on No. 12, alongside reaching par-5 No. 15 in two to make birdie on multiple days.

Other notable conversions on his record include a 27-foot shot for eagle on No. 17 at the Biltmore Championship, a 25-foot shot for birdie on No. 14 at the same event, and a 14-foot putt for birdie on No. 4 at Corales Puntacana.
