PACIFIC PALISADES, California: Scott McCarron has apologized to fellow American Phil Mickelson for implying that the world No 2 had cheated by using a 20-year-old Ping-Eye 2 wedge at last week's San Diego Open.
The pair had a 10-minute conversation after PGA Tour players met with commissioner Tim Finchem at Riviera Country Club on Tuesday to discuss the lingering debate over the legality of square grooves.
Under United States Golf Association (USGA) rules implemented on Jan 1, square or U-grooves have been outlawed but the Ping-Eye 2 wedge is deemed legal because of a lawsuit won by its manufacturer over the USGA in 1990.
