Stop whining about the clock Jordan. You do take alot of time. While we are young.

Also I really get tired of this bullshit "Augusta lore and magic" type garbage.   http://deadspin.com/how-augusta-national-became-golfs-north-korea-1709794444

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... ?

Interested in why you think that is the case. . .

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.

@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

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.

      Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

      By billchao ·

      New clubs came in this morning and I happened to be working in the area so I picked them up. PING G430 Max 3W (-1.5°) with PING Tour 2.0 Black 75, X-Stiff at -1/2" PING G430 3H with PING Tour 2.0 Chrome 85, X-Stiff Those replace my old fairway wood and hybrid, making all 14 clubs in my bag fitted. I'm going to need new excuses for bad shots 😜

      Scottie & Rory on Wedge Game

      By iacas ·

      Ooh, I don't know about that. I've hit flop shots that are 6-7° down. The more you widen the spin loft the less ball speed you put into the ball.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By StuM ·

      Can't brag about a 50 last night but it was the best round of my season (4 rounds of 9 holes) so I am not as upset as I could be.  One thing I am noticed is that I got a little more confident in my long hybrids and I attempted a couple longer shots that typically I would just lay up and those holes were a big part of the lower score.  Not every shot was great but good enough that they helped.  I even shot par on a Par 5 after taking a drop.  On that hole I would usually lay-up to @ 100 yards and often miss the green altogether with my 3rd shot (or worse chunk my approach and put it in the waste area).  Yesterday I went for it from @ 200 yards out with wind in my face and landed in the waste area short of the green.  My drop left @ 40 yards in and I stuck it to 3 feet for my par putt.  If I had laid up I would have avoided the penalty stroke but likely would not have been on the green in regulation and may still have been working for par.  By going for it I gave myself a chance at birdie and still saved par. I do not plan on being crazy aggressive but I think I tend to be too conservative at times so I will "go for it" a little more often going forward.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 14 (15 May 24) - Worked with the SW in the backyard, short pitches from 10yds up to 30yds.   Focused on ball placement in stance - ball back, ball forward, ball center.  Afterwards moved to inside the shop to work on putting pace on the rug - putting one way gives about an 8' putt, going the other a 6' before bumping onto the adjacent rug.  Focused there on the line - picking a target point about 18"-24" out and making sure the ball rolls through that point.
