Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,593 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 508 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 27 at KSAN San Diego International Airport, a movement that lasted 11 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 27, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 158 kt and left the ground after traveling 943 m, representing 41 % of the runway length; ambient conditions were 32 °C with a wind of 12 kt from 291°, a 1 kt crosswind component and an 11 kt headwind.
Climb commenced 1 mile west of KSAN, with the airplane ascending from 984 ft asl to 14,982 ft asl, a gain of 13,998 ft achieved in 6 minutes while covering 30 nm.
Level cruise began 1 mile east of San Pasqual and persisted for 2 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 11 nm at a constant altitude.
Descent was initiated 1 mile north-east of 0CA5 Hoffman Private Airport, with the flight descending from 14,989 ft asl to 1,993 ft asl, a loss of 12,996 ft over 12 minutes and a distance of 53 nm.
The final approach to runway 31L at KPSP Palm Springs International Airport was flown from the south-east on a heading of 313.0°, entering the approach at 4 nm and 1,514 ft agl; local weather reported 42 °C, wind 17 kt from 339°, a 5 kt crosswind and a 17 kt headwind.
Landing on runway 31L, which is 2,594 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 148 kt; touchdown was recorded 94 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 123 kt and a vertical rate of minus 222 fpm, with the wheel track misaligned by 12.1 m from the centreline, and the total landing roll measured 917 m (35 % of the runway).
Runway rollout alignment remained slightly off centreline by 12.1 m as the aircraft decelerated and exited the runway.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 102 nm, required 31 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 1,308 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 established a final approach to runway 31L at KPSP Palm Springs International Airport from the south-east, tracking a heading of 313.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,514 ft agl. Local conditions were a temperature of 42 °C, wind 17 kt from 339 °, providing a 5 kt crosswind component and a 17 kt headwind.
At the threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was well above target at 148 kt. The flare proceeded from this condition without further comment.
Touchdown occurred 94 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 123 kt that was good and a rate of descent rated fair at minus 222 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 12.1 m from the centreline.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 917 m, representing 35 % of the 2,594 m runway, and the rollout alignment remained slightly misaligned by 12.1 m from the centreline.
Reduce the threshold speed toward the target value to shorten the landing roll and improve centreline alignment on touchdown and rollout to keep the aircraft within the intended path.
