The year Tiger won by 12 in 1997, he didn't have a three-putt the whole week. That's why he won the tournament. Putting is still the key here.
A three-putt green by Hess on No. 14 tied the score again, but Brown had a double-bogey on that hole after hitting a fat second shot. I got some bad luck there, ... I'm standing in the fairway and I really haven't got a shot to play. There was a big clump right behind my ball.
I needed it, ... I didn't make anything until a 13-footer at No. 9, then threw that away with a three-putt at the 10th where I missed the hole from 2 feet. Then I birdied 13 and 15 but missed from 8 feet after hitting a great bunker shot at 16. It was disappointing to keep giving shots right back.
If you three-putt to lose a tournament, it sticks with you. If you hit it in water to lose a tournament, it's no big deal. You can always say it was a bad shot or a bad (course) design or whatever.

He looks comfortable over putts and to me, he doesn't take as long to putt as he does full shots. His routine is consistent. He's got a simple-looking stroke, with nice pace and flow, a blend of mechanics and pace. But I always think guys who putt well are more fearless. They don't worry about the three-putt or the bad putt. They don't take that with them.
