Oh sure, now Jordan has a perfect drive on #18.

Tension kills consistency. That's why it's a bit easier to 'back door' a win than build / stretch a lead from the front...unless maybe it's a really big lead - still means you have to play phenomenal golf to get there.

He played really good golf, is up-and-coming and we had a really exciting finish down the stretch. How, exactly, is this bad for golf?

No.  This was one of his "top 10 things I'd like to say" comments on Letterman the next day.  But it was more like "Now I don't look so foolish for trademarking Immelmania."

If you haven't already done so, check out (probably on YouTube) Geoff Ogilvy, Immelman, and Z. Johnson's Letterman top-10s after their first respective major wins. 

Ohhh hahaha

They probably did exactly the same thing with Tiger's & Rory's wins at a young age too. It's rare for really young golfers to win Majors.

 

Have to say, given how rare it is to repeat, Jordan put up a pretty solid title defense overall.

Maybe.

But I didn't follow golf then so it didn't leave me with the same feeling.

I wonder what Jordan was thinking after he birdied 9.  

Wonder if he let his mind wonder off to "I'm gonna go back to back!"

Oh gimme a break. It got exciting after a long snoozefest and the winner was the player who was the best on Sunday with no mistakes. Well deserved. That is not bad for golf.

Because he is not American. 

Gotta love xenophobia... ?

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.


Too bad for Jordan and Rory the Masters isn't 63 holes.

@atb5079 If you realized how easy it is to make a big number at Augusta it shouldn't have been perceived as a snooze fest.

 

Given the long odds on repeating, Jordan did a nice job overall at a title defense.

Does probably make more people like Spieth when he is able to come back next time and get it done after a meltdown like this.  Everybody (most people) like a comeback story 

 


Wearing a green shirt under the green jacket is such a rookie move. Good for Willett, though.

He may be a no name today, but this could also be the first step to him joining the big 4 (or 5, or whatever it is).  At the same time, even if he disappears after this win, there's a great story about what Jordan makes of this disaster.

You have a way of interpreting my words differently.

Just like Rory dominated the 2011 US Open.

    • Day 323 - Opposite of yesterday, focusing more on taking a full backswing than anything else.
    • Day 139: worked on putting for a while. Did the two cups drill for bead. 
    • It’s winter here and time hitting at my indoor place.  This year I bought and sold a few sets so I didn’t settle in on anything. For this coming season, starting now I have a choice to make.  What set would you guys use? 1.  Nike Vapor Pro irons - They are like new, hit them some last year before I had to demo other sets.  I love them, original grips, barely used so I’m almost not wanting to use them to keep their value up.  Standard LLL and standard grips. 2. Taylormade P7TW irons - Still in the box.  Got them over a year ago but had too much to hit, never used them.  Have used a set in the past and loved them.  Ended up with my own set custom fit to me -1/4”, 1 degree flat midsize grips.  These are probably not as valuable because they are still available and they are fit to me. I hate to put the Nikes away but it makes more sense to save them than the TW’s…. I dunno…. 
    • Day 215 (3 Dec 24) - Another very chilly day - opted to work on easy pitches in the backyard. Worked thru the irons and wedges - focused on foot position and tempo.
