3M Open 2022 R1

The American has won four times on the PGA Tour since his debut in 2009. Last week he made a big change, switching his caddie, swing coach, driver and putter.

“I put in the work to make sure the stuff’s right. When it’s under the gun, it
sometimes can be a little different, but the results with the putter today, I couldn’t be happier. It actually made me smile and I don’t smile much.

“Every shot counts, and it’s time to buckle down,” Piercy said. “Not that we don’t try to buckle down all the time, but there’s extra buckling down, I guess. To start off this way is really nice.”

“The ball-striking numbers over the last couple years have – through my
career I’ve been in like the high 60s with my ball-striking and I started looking at my stats over the last kind of two years and I was like 135 in ball-striking. I’ve made all my money generally with ball-striking. That was what spawned the coach stuff.

“The caddie, I just – we were missing cuts by one a lot or having to birdie the last hole, so I felt like there was a little bit lacking there. Sometimes you just, you’ve got to make a change to get better. And I don’t like to change, so for me to have all these changes is a good thing, but it’s – like he says, it’s a little bit scary, but I feel comfortable with it.”
