You obviously don't know the rules of golf, which are different for Match Play.

Perhaps you should petition the USGA and see if you can get them to change the Rules of Golf?

& just for context, the average "Make %" on the PGA Tour for 3' putts, is 99.4%. The upper echelon on the Tour manages an even higher %.

If you were paying attention, I don't think there's was a single putt "given" in the entire Ryder Cup, that wasn't under 3', if it was of consequence and not a "good/good" situation.
