I attempt to "aim small." I also add a tad bit more break and make sure to hit the putt. I hate when I have a rare putt for eagle or birdie and leave it short, never giving it a chance.

I came across this on Twitter and thought it was a great view point for someone needing to make this putt for eagle. It looks like she set-up well and had the line until stepping up to the ball. Also looks like she punched it rather than flowing through the stroke.

How do others handle pressure in putts like this? I've done the same thing, but have to focus completely on the spot I want to hit about 6" or 8" in front of my ball.
On those rare occasions I have a presure putt, I just stick to my routine: looking at the line from both sides of the cup, no practice strokes, step up to the ball and recite in my head "Straight back, straight through, straight in". [/QUOTE]
All good stuff. but I'm loving this!
Some great replys here, but one thing that I do was only briefly mentioned and I honestly think it has more merit than most golfers would give credit to. Breathing properly.
As a pool player and shooter, I learned years ago that proper breathing techniques flood the brain with oxygen which in tern gives a person several distinct advantages, especially in putting. I find it calms the nerves a bunch, it helps to bring clarity and Ive actually credited it to triggering those rare occasions of "Being in the Zone. Does anyone else do this?
I agree breathing is important. I found that in the past I was holding my breath when in that situation. Now I will step away and make sure I breathe.
