What a performance by Spieth, great Masters this year. Maybe Phil can take this into the US Open.

I thought Phil's goal was to NOT finish second at the U.S. Open?

Three majors in a row now I've cashed in by picking the right winner pre-week (although to be honest I usually put money on a couple guys, not just one). Going for my version of the Grand Slam at Chambers Bay haha.


Spieth's media skills are stellar. Dude works a crowd so well, and doesn't come off as goofy. I don't know if this is innate or he's had training, but he's just incredible. Really like this guy.

Top performance all round by Jordan unlucky not to par the 72nd and rewrite the record books fully with lowest total ever. Rory come home well, good to see. My picks for masters finished with two in top four, as I mentioned be a young guns have good show.

Indeed. The kid is all-class. Got a hot girlfriend. Great family. Really like reading about his relationship with his sister. Only thing is needs now is something to treat that hair of his....he's gonna be jim furyk before he's 30.


Wow. He is impressive with that mic. Dare I say he reminds me of Arnie?

I liked that he returned to the 18th green after getting congratulated by his family/friends to give the "patrons" a clap for their support.

I liked that the world's number one Rory gave credit to Jordan for his win - something TW never, ever seems to do (give credit to another golfer)......


Was rooting for Spieth all the way!!

Good to see him go wire to wire and to finish in solid form.  Puts down earlier posts from those who said he can't close and predicting that he would fade  The win is good for him and for the game of golf.  No one "gave" him this win, he earned it.  He's been playing amazing golf for the past month.  These runs always end but I hope he can continue it thru the summer and perhaps pick up another Major win by the end of the year to take away the #1 ranking from McIlroy.

Congrats, Jordon!!!

Lord. You can praise Spieth for being great and Rory as well without going after TW for no reason.

The run may end to the extent of him not finishing in the top-2 every single week, but one thing about him in the last 2 years is he's been pretty consistent. 21 out of 29 tournaments in the last year he's finished in the top-20, with half of those top-10s. He had one bad stretch there from the British Open to the HSBC Champions where he finished outside the top 10 in 7 of 8 tourneys, but the rest of the time, the resume is pretty solid and consistent. In his last 12 tournaments now he has 4 wins and 8 top-5 finishes. That's more consistent than Rory, which is pretty good stuff.


So, the aftermath. Tiger Woods is now ranked #101 in the world. However, if he were to use his actual events played (24) as a divisor instead of the minimum (40), he'd be ranked #47. I'm not saying he should be 47, just pointing out how high he is despite so few events played.

Spieth gave an amazing performance.  But, was no one else just a little disappointed when he missed that par put on 18 to break Tiger's scoring record? "Sigh!" It would have been the stuff of myth, fable and legend.

I thought it was very fitting that he tied the scoring record.....as good as Speith was, Tiger's performance was so much more dominant

How was Tiger's more dominant, how could Speith possibly control what the other players shot? Tigers win was dominant because the field was not as deep as this one.

The competition in '97 also wasn't as strong as it was in '15. For crying out loud, an old Tom Kite was runner-up. So yes, it appears it was more dominant, but I think side-by-side, the performances were very similar.

Here we go......LOL

Except when he's saying they're incredible, as he did today.

Tiger has always given credit where it is due.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

    • Day 1: After a long practice layoff due to injury, vacation, winter darkness, and work stuff, I'm trying to start back up again. Today I just hit balls with keys from my lesson 6-ish weeks ago; neutral grip and centered turn. Gonna work with that for a few weeks, see how it goes, and then get a lesson scheduled.
    • It’s not live on free to air tv in the UK, and hasn’t been since 1995. ( I pay a subscription to Sky for generally good golf coverage). There are limited highlights on the BBC for some golf events, but that’s it. Are other/all PGA events on NBC?  Allowing ticket scalping is a systemic failure across sports and showbiz, which could be legislated against, but in the UK is not in any meaningful way. I don’t know much about the secondary market in the US or anti scalping measures.  Charging more to keep prices down is an interesting concept, in practice no doubt you are right even if It sounds a bit Catch 22  Do you think sports tickets and broadcast rights  should be sold on a purely capitalist basis, or is there an argument to say that some sports might benefit more from wider exposure and affordable access. ( golf in the US is apparently not one of these if tickets sold out at those prices so quickly)  Fans might benefit from cheaper tickets and in the UK at least, TV coverage that reaches a wider audience.
