My clubs are already on the way to Akron, I just came back with a putter, a ball, a hat and some shoes.

You're the only one in control over your golf ball. It's not like tennis: you're hitting a shot and somebody's hitting it back at you.

Jared hit the ball very well. He hit 14 of 18 greens. He just didn't have the putter working for him.

I'm starting to hit it better and getting the range on my shots. If I get my putter going, watch out.

Does he need to score a hat-trick in every match? ... Does he need to get the ball from the half-way line and dribble past everyone?

There is no visible break between the putter alignment aid and the ball. It really helps to have the alignment area focus you on a specific point on the back of the ball.
