    If the best golfer in the world Jordan Speith can block it right a few times I don't feel as bad blocking it right a bunch of times when I use to play. :D

    Best golfer currently is Jason Day ;)

    Stat ? Official World Golf Ranking

    Shame Rory McIlroy had such a disapointing round today, would've like to see him win it.

    And Spieth just made the final day interesting by "messing up" the 17th and 18th.


    Great tournament and stunning course as always.

    I think Smylie will choke tomorrow.

    Tomorrow will be interesting.

    The final two holes today really hurt Spieth. He went from a good lead to only leading by a stroke. Hopefully he can pull it back together tomorrow and keep the lead.

    And Langer! That old coot is in good shape. Speith has a lot of character and it will be tested tomorrow..the wind will be down and that changes a bunch..players hit higher softer landing shots but more margin for error. Augusta is hard. But fun to watch tomorrow.
    Nantz asked Smylie what he's driving...did he answer a Mazda? I know not Subaru...but it's an '08.
    Cheers,

    Seems like lately Langer chokes the last day of the Masters. Wind is down...distance will be key and Langer is not a long hitter.

    Watch out for Dustin Johnson.

    I think Spieth is fantastic and by all accounts a great guy. His pre-shot set up with all of the fidgeting over the ball would make me nuts. I keep expecting him to step away from each shot. Clearly, it works for him.

    I've been to the Masters twice. Just an amazing place. TV doesn't do justice to how fast the greens are and how it seems like every shot it hit off a contour.

    You know CBS adds the bird noises. Now all those chirps while watching are annoying me!

    It seems like he's blocked a lot them today. Living dangerously.

    Wow, didn't see Spieth melting down like this. I thought he was a lock for the win.

    Wow. Blocks a 9 or wedge on the tee shot and flat out chunks a another wedge. Unbelievable.

    I had to stop watching that hole after the second shot. I can't believe that happened.

    Hopefully he can rally back. Willet getting a bogey on the last two would be nice

    Your opening post turned out to be predictive...

    What a weird day, three holes-in-one on the 16th, Spieth giving it away leading by 5 on the 10th, Danny Willett winning it.

    Spieth seems like such a good guy. I commend him for doing the interviews and being authentic. just painful. I hope he recovers.

    He's young, but I think his head is screwed on right. I'm sure he'll be back winning this year.

    Yes Spieth is young. Only 22. He compounded his error on 12 by going back to hit the perfect full swing shot instead of going to the drop zone and just getting safely over the water ...and he admitted as much. So he can hopefully learn from this and move forward.
