One suggestion for TV viewers: You can’t respond in the normal fashion when you see a player hit a medium-length putt four feet past the hole. That’s what the good putter does at the Masters. He makes a bid to hole it, and if he commits a very slight misjudgment, he’s got a testing putt coming back. He has to accept that as part of the deal. That four-footer has to be one of his tap-ins. Anyplace else, that’s what it would be: a tap-in. So he has to think of it that way—and then he has to make it.
