Start the putt on the first three inches of your line

To hole short putts, read the break and pick your line, then isolate the first three inches of that line and focus on it intently. Make sure you start the ball rolling over those first three inches with decent speed; Cho says that if you have read it correctly and start it on that line, the putt will always go in. She demonstrates on a four-footer using a line drawn on the green.
