Since when has anyone ever "held" a putt??

But Severiano, "sinking a monster" or "draining one from long range": both are grammatically correct. They may sound a bit stupid but it's far better to say either of those than, "Held a putt" because that doesn't make sense. Held is not past tense for hole.

You can say, "I holed a raker," "I boxed a monster," "I canned a python," - they all make sense. "I held a raker," "I boxing a monster," "I cans a python," - these don't.
