Original reporting & analysis · Homie Golf Tour desk
Under pressure, tempo goes first, then routine, then the short putts.
The setup
You can see the routine shrink in real time on the back nine.
What happened
Short putt make rate drops measurably in final groups. It is not a stroke issue, it is a breathing issue.
What it means
Copy their routine, not their stroke.
