Does Spieth seem to be playing faster?

Maybe Spieth WAS on the clock on 12 and it got in his head.

No, I just think the camera's on his group less so we're not seeing as much of the double reads etc.

Does DJ just not read greens well?  Stroke looks great but the ball just misses by so much so often.

I wonder how well his putter fits him when I see misses like that, actually. 

Jordan makes his first par since hole 4.

I have exactly the same feeling about Rory - can't see how two guys who regularly miss putts that most others make both have blade putters with the thinnest grips imaginable. You've got to imagine that it contributes to their issues.

I went to eat, and Spieth was leading by five. What the hell happened?!?!

Although I was really hoping that Danny Willett would be the leader in the clubhouse, in the hopes that Nantz' call would include the line, "Willett be enough?"

I feel bad for JS..  Oh well.

He'll have other chances. Could be a good learning experience on life not ending with one slip. Doesn't change the fact that he put himself in contention.

What I don't understand about that hole is why was the 3rd shot so far back from the hazard instead of right up against the margin so you could take the water out of play with a really lofted shot?

Jordan started the second nine 5-5-7 (bogey bogey quad).  It hurt.

Rae's Creek has become selective in utilizing its unique gravitational abilities. It picked Spieth on 12.

I'm thinking he wanted a fuller swing to avoid another chunked chip like on 18 yesterday.

Isn't it that they have a specific drop zone?

    • Day 35 (15 Dec 25) - Short session today focused on exaggerated weight shift using left heel trigger.  Hit a few pitches using the process to help capture the feel. 
    • Day 125 12-15 Half swings with flow drill. Focused on rhythm, loading trail side then getting to lead side correctly. Hit a few foam balls but mostly drilling without ball. 
    • recently introduced to the cmb's and love them.   got me started looking at the a12 pros and the cb1's.   any input on either of these?     
    • Never practiced golf when I was young and the only lesson ever taken was a driver lesson. I feel like I'm improving every year. However, the numbers don't support my feeling about improving. I usually drop to 12-13 during the summer while playing the familiar courses around home and then go on golf trips in the fall to new courses and increase to end the year between 15-17. Been a similar story for a number of years now but hey, it's the best thing there is in life so not too bothered but reaching 9.9 is the objective every year. Maybe a few lessons and practice could help me achieve it since I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing, just playing and never practice.
    • I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.
