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.

They were better in 2019.

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.
