Putting is hard, and it’s one of the reasons why golf often is a frustrating sport and takes lots of mental toughness to consistently find success.
One Olympic golfer, Japan’s Haru Nomura, gave up what could be a crucial stroke in the women’s golf event at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio by missing a put from what looked like three or four inches.
It wasn’t the best way to begin Wednesday’s first round, but there’s still time to recover.
