I've definitely seen a stance like that. I recently had ball lies that were fairly severe.
3 click is challenging on hard difficulty. To make it additionally harder is to use my putting guide I "published" earlier + use the overhead grid only (not the putting line or on the green grid at all.) Also, don't use a jacked up player. I think somewhere around 75-80 overall is reasonable.
addendum: just tried the 11 version on rpcs3 and in no way does that gameplay compare. It's dated.
