Some will give you these extreme examples about hitting every green and having 'X' amount of putts or missing every green and having 'Y' amount of putts and the stat doesn't matter. IMO those extremes don't happen and we live in the real world where people hit greens 30-40% of the time and then get lucky every once in a while with a chip or two. Based on what you've said, if you average 2 putts or less, you will shoot lower scores. Turn a couple 3-putts into a 2-putt and turn a couple of 2-putts into a 1-putt and you just shaved 4 strokes.

That just doesn't make total sense. It is clear his putting needs practice or even a fitting to confirm he has the right putter and he needs to work on getting up and down from around the green. Simple as that. The easiest way to post great scores is to hit greens and give yourself birdie attempts and tap in pars. Nothing can kill a score faster than a three putt. But you lose a stroke everytime you miss a green in regulation. A sharp shortgame will hide a ton of sins.
