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 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.

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
