But that's golf. One can say "if" until one is blue in the face. I'm a 4 handicap, but IF 3 or 4 of my putts per round traveled just 1 or 2 centimeters in a different direction, I'd me a scratch golfer. ....And if my aunt had gonads, she'd be my uncle.

The point about her putting is that her game is good enough to put her consistently in position for makeable birdies. Most of the criticiism of her game has been that she wouldn't be able to get to the greens as easily as the men, not that she can't putt.

Ovaries are gonads too.

"And if my aunt had gonads, she'd be my uncle."

Really? Both ovaries and testes are gonads, my friend. Get your terminology straight and your humor might work. It's called a dictionary: Look into it.

We can argue all day on this. The point is, on her best day -which means she hits all those near misses- she could seriously contend in a given tournament. Can she do it consistently? Will she have awful days? No and yes. But the point is, if she has a great day -not a fantasy, never-can-do it day, just a great day- she's looking at 5 under par today.
