The story behind the innovative L.A.B. putter that just won the U.S. Open

Club maker Bill Presse discovered his unique lie angle balanced design by accident in his garage, and a Facebook crowd of devotees called the Lab Rats soon followed.

On Sunday, J.J. Spaun sank a 64-foot putt to win the U.S. Open, one of the PGA Tour’s four major tournaments. Over the final seven holes, he made more than 136 feet of putts, including that curling 64-footer on 18. He was the only player to finish the U.S. Open under par, and it was his first career major win. It was also the first major win for L.A.B. Golf, the boutique manufacturer that outfitted Spaun with his DF3 custom putter.
