There seems to be a lot of assumptions in this video about what Rory does. In all the interviews with Rory about his pre-shot routine never once have I heard him say that he focuses on his breathing. (Do you have any evidence you can present to support that claim?) . Its said in the video that Rory picks out a target in the distance and aims for that. There are actually videos out there where Rory says he doesn't like to do that. There are videos out there where Rory says that he picks out a target two feet in front of the ball on line with his far away target, and aims at that two feet away target. He says that works much better for him than aiming at a target in the far distance.

To be fair, a 4' downhill putt through 77 sets of spike marks late in the afternoon is, at best, a 50/50 deal.
