This is a 40-foot putt, and it will breaking five to six feet, downhill, right to left. A lot of times I will just try to get the ball around the hole so I don't have to think about the next putt.

The easiest thing is to find the fault line where the putt will break in the middle -- and just putt it there. If I am lucky, I might make one a week.

Some guys will make more. I am just really happy to get down in two. When you're putting from this far away, you're really not looking at birdie. You just want to make par and get out of there.
