Because he is not American. 

Gotta love xenophobia... ?

Not at all. A Rory or Day win would have been great for the game too

I didn't want to see Spieth run away with it but relative no name winners are not good for the game at this point IMO. Yes, yes, to die hard golf fans he's not a no name, but to 99% of folks he is.

I see where you are coming from, but what if Danny Willett becomes the next Nick Faldo? Would the 2016 Masters being lame then?

Just like Rory dominated the 2011 US Open.  

Hadn't thought of that.  Second place finished at double-digits under par at a U.S. Open, but it wasn't good for a win.  Only six in history had done that, and he didn't get a trophy for it.

5 correction, 6 UK players in the top 10. Rule Britannia. Well done.

Did Spieth just say, "not right now, I need some room," to the camera person?

I wonder if he said that to Feherty when he was on that show a few weeks back.

Makes me wonder if they knew something everyone else didn't? Or was it being better at surviving the wind than most of the field?

I'm guessing that the Feherty interview wasn't shortly after losing a major tournament.

Yeah, I have to give anyone a break at that point for not wanting a camera in his face.

'Not in the face.' Sheesh, hearing what you want to hear much?

Reasonable personal space for both Willett and Jordan would be expected. I am kind of surprised that CBS and Fox had this similarity in their broadcast style.

But he's been a media darling - they just want to catch that raw emotion, just like they catch it when he's winning. :whistle:

Would love to hear people try to find something to criticize about Jordan taking that interview. Class act and super mature for a 22 year old.

I'll give him credit for that.  Good job.

Anyone know if it's a contractual obligation?

I used to really like Nantz.

Now I think he sucks hard.

I wouldnt say its bad for golf, but it was quite an underwhelming ending. Any of the other top players would have had an exciting story, Spieth, Rory, Day, even Langer. This is the worst possible outcome for a major, when you have several great stories behind other players winning, and some fairly unknown comes up and wins.

    • Day 48. Got out at lunch to the range to hit some driver shots. Haven’t had much practice there. Focused on setup suggested by @iacas and found some very playable results. I did try to hit a couple of bunker shots after that with much less success 🙃
    • Got a rare birdie on #18 Par 5.  Drive was good and left me in range of the green.  I was @ 210 from the center and needed @ 180 to clear a hazard area.  Green had bunkers lest, right and on back. had been struggling and most shots were short so I took the 225 club figuring back of green hit well. i did hit it well, @ 229 per SS and dead on—kind at the pin.  Ended up @ 1 foot off the back in short rough and lucky for me it was a back pin placement.  Chipped about 15 feet leaving a 3 feet putt for par which I sunk.  
    • Yea, so to clarify for me. I do not feel the clubface much in the swing. I feel the weight of the club. I can feel if I hit the club off the heel or toe. When I try to feel if the clubface is open or closed in the swing, I feel it more with my hands, and less of the clubhead. I would classify majority of my swings as not feeling like the clubface does much of all. It feels like I hold the clubface open. In the finish, it doesn't feel like my left hand faces the ground. It feels more like it faces the sky. I will try to be more aware of this, but it was just the sensation I got when I was making what felt like good swings. For the most part, I was hitting slight draws or slight pushes.  On this golf trip, I had to hit a low 8 iron around a tree to the green. I made an alignment adjustment, and actively try to roll my hands a bit more to get it to sling around the corner. I do have a habit of not adjusting how the clubface comes through impact, and I can still hit the ball straight-ish even moving the ball way back in my stance and trying to swing out more.  Yea, my feels are more hands and arms, less actually feeling the clubface.
