For the record, Holloway is naturally a left-hander but golf is the only thing he switches to right-hand mode. He is capable of playing his irons and woods left-handed but the co-ordination isn't as refined.
"My putting has never been good. It's nowhere near as good as the rest of my game."
In a nutshell, Holloway has ascertained left-hand putting works wonders for him on fast greens but doesn't run so hot on slower ones.
The greens at Tauranga club, he felt, were running fast yesterday during the sponsors' round.
Holloway shares the bragging rights for the the most Jennian Homes-sponsored Charles Tour wins - Michael Hendry equalled his five titles when he won the Lawn Masters Classic in Manawatu in January. "It'll be great to win a sixth one."
On the home front, the protege of PGA professional Brian Doyle will become a father in February. His wife, Rebecca, is expecting their first child and she'll know the sex at her 20-week scan early next month.
"We have no preference as long as he or she is fit and healthy," he said, mindful the addition of a child will demand he curtail his career overseas.
