Who invented the claw putting grip? Not Kendall...

Much to Bobby Clampett's surprise, Skip Kendall was putting cross-handed earlier today at the AT&T Classic.  Clampett said during The Golf Channel's telecast that Kendall is famous for inventing the claw putting grip.  This statement is incorrect. 

John Pfannerstill, a municipal judge from Milwaukee, invented the claw.  Rick Lipsey wrote several years ago:

Pfannerstill had seen his scores balloon from the low 70s to 80 and above, and he had tried everything to regain his putting stroke: hitting it lefthanded and cross-handed and, he says, "buying more putters than you'd find in a pro shop." Then one night in the early 1970s, before a match at his club, a restless Pfannerstill tiptoed to the family room where, while practicing his putting, he had a eureka moment. Pfannerstill tried gripping the putter with his right hand as if he were holding a pencil. "It felt good right away," recalls Pfannerstill. "I made a lot of confident strokes on the carpet and felt so peaceful that I was able to fall asleep."

Durward Baker learned the grip from Pfannerstill, and introduced it to a young Skip Kendall in 1995, who told Chris DiMarco.
