is he anchoring his long putter? Thought it was illegal?

No. Saw him and Langer last year at Philly Cricket Club. On TV it looks like they anchor but if you watch in person you can see they are not.

Thanks...hard to tell on TV. He's been playing well the last year or two.
Its really close IMO....
McCarron yes, he's really close but if you watch Langer he does anchor on his practice stroke then at the last minute pulls his hand away from his chest then putts.
Anchoring just isn't for putting but any shot. There were guys who'd anchor a hybrid into their stomachs when they had shots where their ball would be at the fringe/green cut. I hardly if ever see guys any more using hybrids to bump and run from those lies anymore.
I think it's a goofy rule anyway and should be re-instated. At least on the Champions tour. Next year you'll be able to take a drop from any height which means you can hover the ball a millimeter above the grass then drop it. You're practically will be able to place the ball but yet they will keep the anchoring rule in tacked.

I can see some separation in Langer's putting but it sure looks like McCarron tucks his in awful tight.
Before they both got called out on it, they both still looked like they were anchoring it.
