I guess Tom was not putting out his mind yesterday

Jerry Pate missed a few little putts a couple of weeks ago right at the end of the Senior P.G.A.. The announcers for TV seemed to think with him, the problem was probably due to age, or nerves.He evidently was putting well right up to the end, when the pressure got very great.

A similar thing seemed to occur with Mr. Kite on the last day of the tournament.

Orville Moody fixed this with the Long putter. Others, like Hale Irwin, don't seem to have any problem like this.

Does he have a better technique, better nerves, or both?
