Scott McCarron will 'not be silenced' over clubs

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.

Former Masters champion 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.
