Adam Scott is matching the switch...back.

The 2013 Masters champion will use a long putter with an anchored putting stroke at next week's Masters, Scott confirmed to the Australian Associated Press.

Scott, who switched to a traditional-length putter at the WGC-Cadillac Championship in March, struggled with the stroke in two subsequent Florida starts at the Valspar Championship, where he missed the cut after making the money in 45 straight PGA Tour events, and the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

The Aussie used the long putter to win his lone major championship. It's his last chance to use the anchored stroke at the Masters, as it will become illegal on Jan. 1, 2016.

After he struggled on the greens at Bay Hill, Scott explained why he might make the temporary switch back to the broomstick.

"It's all about the lag putting," Scott said to PGATour.com. "It's such a difference in weight of club and stroke and everything. I'm just trying to figure it all out."
