Own your process on the putt, not the outcome

Using an eight-foot putt as an example, the speaker separates your job from the outcome: your job is to read the putt the best you can, make a really strong decision, step up with the right kind of preparation, and roll the best putt you can. If you do that and it misses, he says you did your part, because whether the ball goes in is not fully controllable by you.
