The story was not on the PGA.com front page when I looked just now. I had to dig a little to find it. Here is the link:

I found it under "IMPROVE YOUR GAME / Features".

Kudos on a great article, Ted, and also for the recognition (you deserve it). It is good to be reminded that probably the best and simplest way to shoot better scores is to make more putts. On an 18 hole par 72 round, if you hit every green in regulation and shoot par, exactly half of your strokes are putts. That 8 foot putt (and its follow up, if you do not make it) counts just as much as every other stroke. It is just so much more fun to hit that little white ball and watch it get very small, very quickly as it flies away like a missile.

I did not see the end of the tournament on Sunday, but I was thinking as I was watching that Mickelson was playing like a wild man and Howell was being VERY consistent and making A LOT of putts, as you pointed out. Then again, it would be nice to play like a wild man and shoot 68 .
