I dont like the Butler Cabin that much. It should be outside in front of the fans. Err I mean gallery!

[RJH999]

Oh boy this is so awkward.

Spieth looks like someone just died.

Agreed. Always makes for a sufficiently awkward conclusion. Especially this year

It always feels stuffy and forced. Maybe it is sincere for Nantz, but seems just a hair over the top.

Yeah, he's so out of it he almost fell over.

That's bikini-waxed patrons.  McCord says so.

The do it twice, once for TV, once for the patrons.

Yeah, but we have to go online for the other one.

DW for the win!!!!! England finally has a masters champ who's not Nick Faldo!

You mean patrons?

[Coronagolfman]

Clearly Jordan did not enjoy the ceremony - while it is the defending champ who does the presentation of the jacket maybe its time they have a backup in case the prior champ wants to beg off - how cool would it have been to have Nick Faldo present Willetts with the green jacket?

Don't think it helped Jordan to be paired with Smiley who shot 81 and was all over the place all day long - not to mention that Willetts had the good fortune to be paired with fellow Englishman Westwood which probably provided him with a less stress-full environment.

Still, as Jordan noted, he did push a number of shots to the right during the tournament and he just happened to do so at the worst time on 12.

Spoiler

For The Leftovers watchers:

I was kind of hoping Willett would come into Butler cabin, chain smoking a cigarette and communicate only via writing on a notepad, but alas, not more all white clothing.

 

[DeadMan]

Spieth had 22 birdies. Willet had 13. Won by 3.

[BruceMGF]

maybe its time they have a backup in case the prior champ wants to beg off -

When George Archer was defending champ, he missed the cut and had to hang around not only for the final two rounds, but an 18-hole playoff as well.

Jordan's gonna need a good psychiatrist after this one. At least he has a super hot girlfriend to help console him (lucky bastard). But this one is gonna sting. Tough loss for him. But still in 5 majors he's gone 1st-1st-4th-2nd-2nd...and that 4th was one-shot out of a playoff. Not half bad.

Spieth and Greller made a huge mistake there on 12, though. Need to be aiming over that bunker left. If you mis-hit it, you hit in the bunker. The second mistake was playing it from the drop zone. That had flub written all over it. I was even telling my brother I wouldn't be surprised if he chunks that one. It's a tough shot. If he re-tees it, he can hit a full wedge or 9.

I disagree, gotta take the good with the bad. Unless the defending champ isn't actually present, in which case...

There are certain social situations in which you just grin and bear it; this was one such occasion for Mr. Spieth. A smile, and a pat on the back or handshake for the winner, wouldn't have killed him, would it?

Faldo would have been a fun choice, but I'm not sure Sir Nick is the perfect presenter of green jackets; even though it was in good humour, look on Youtube for the time he came down to Woosie's height (so to speak).
