SAN DIEGO (AP)—Scott McCarron is not backing away from his opinion that Phil Mickelson or anyone else on the PGA Tour should not be using the Ping-Eye 2 wedges with square grooves.

McCarron says he will “not be silenced” as he works to get the grooves issues resolved.

He caused a flap last week at Torrey Pines when he said Mickelson was “cheating” by using the Ping wedge. Mickelson replied a day later that he had been “publicly slandered” and he would let others handle it. He stopped short of threatening a lawsuit.

Square grooves no longer conform to the Rules of Golf. However, the Ping wedges, if made before April 1, 1990, are approved for play under terms of a lawsuit Ping settled with the USGA and the PGA Tour about 20 years ago.
