He's back, but he's not going to win The Masters - too far back, too many missed opportunities. The 3-putt on 16 today was ugly. You don't leave your lag putt 8 feet short. Easy birdie putt on 18 that he also missed.

I'm a huge Spieth fan (not quite to the point of @colin007 and Tiger, but close) However, I struggle to see him putting it back together. He has become more twitchy with his pre-shoot routine (al

He channeled his inner Els for the putting and Sergio for the green damage.

he still struggles with the same damn problem... he just makes bad bogeys at bad times.  I feel like he hardly ever has a bogey free round.  I get that guys make bogeys, but he just makes bad ones, at bad times, and seems to always make at like minimum 2-3 per round.

The above could be about any professional golfer apart from Tiger Woods.

Spieth won last week, came in 3rd this week at the Masters. Pretty impressive.

It’s hard to win two weeks in a row too.

Spieth usually won because of his play around the green and his putter. This week it kind of let him down. With his strokes gained tee-to-green, he should have won the Masters easily. IF he can continue to drive it the way he has recently, I think he is officially back.

Well that would imply that there's more to winning than shots gained tee to green.

How many other players "should have" won the Masters "easily"? 15? 20?

It was said in context with the fact that his usual success is with his putter.

Except ...that’s not true. JS actually putted better in 2019 than he did in 2015. JS has made his wins based on his ball striking primarily.

But he has almost always been a good putter and scrambler, His putting stats in 2015 were pretty good, probably top ten and he was #1 around the green. His success has rarely been because of tee to green. You don't even have to look at stats to see that, just watch him play.

Well...stats are the truth. What we think we see can be deceiving.

He didn’t follow the Gary Player tip.

Ah, the step-forward after the shot.  But he did execute the rank amateur fall-back after the shot.  And he is still alive.

I don't think that shot was all that scary. When's the last time a pro golfer fell forward even two inches when hitting a shot off a slight downslope.

Jordan's caddie tried 3 times to talk him out of the shot.  One thing is for sure, we'll be watching replays of that shot for years to come, every early February.  And what fun to talk about that shot with his friends.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
