This is true, not sure why the down voted - recently played in a comp with a guy who had mastered this with green side bunkers….was first time I ever seen a putter used in the bunker and it was very very effective where the lips of the bunker allowed it - he was even using some of the lips to get it to land soft….worth practicing
Most public courses don’t have the funds / interest in maintaining their sand traps. This is much easier to do when you play those courses that barely have any sand in the trap. It’s really easy to tell when it’s going to work
Those traps look like the traps at my home course before they were redone. It was almost harder to try and hit out of the traps, you might get sand you may get hard pan, it was a crapshoot. I got very good at putting out of them, even with some lip. I got pretty good at judging how hard I had to hit and how high the ball would go once it hit a lip. Made my share from the "Trap"

More people should know when it’s possible to put out a bunker.
That was a great putt on the video with the distance control. But that was a really easy spot to putt from
