Spieth doesn't ride in anyone's backpack for rings, although his masters choke is very reminiscent of Kobe's game 7 in 2010

I predicted Spieth's greatness 2 years ago.

When Spieth wins the PGA by 10 strokes that will silence the haters.

One great "shot" at The Open was on the final round 10th hole. Kuchar hit his tee shot in the rough and fans raced to the ball to get position within feet of it. Kuchar lined up and hit from there and in that camera shot there was a guy holding two full un-spilt beers in plastic cups just a few feet away from him. Very impressive!

Guessing the Venn diagram of Trump voters and Speef haters is basically all overlap.

Guessing it's not.

Probably closer to the opposite.

Saying this as #TeamSpieth and #smallHands

Learn the rules and then revisit this thread. By that time the internet will cease to exist.

Dude seems like a headcase where he can play incredibly well for a while then just hits shockingly bad shots.

All professionals hit absolutely horrid shots all the time. If you attend an event you'll see them because they rarely show them on TV. Every tour event at least one guy cold shanks an iron shot, no exaggeration. Each and every casual viewer would be extremely surprised if they knew the best of the best hit the clunkers amateurs do.

Regarding the shot at #12 at Augusta, you have no idea just how tight that grass is. There is zero margin for error like there is at every other golf course on earth. Many times it's so tight the pros go with different grinds on their wedges to try to compensate. It's embarrassing for a tour player for sure, but if you understand the grounds at Augusta, it's totally understandable.

That was clearly the most savage 4 holes of golf I've ever seen or even heard about.

Charl Schwartzel's 4 birdies to finish the Masters come to mind. But savage and Charl in the same sentence is just gibberish.

Nitbo is one of those rare simpletons that can't understand the difference between a statistical generalization (men are taller than women) and a mathematical truth (no even number bigger than 2 is prime..) No generalizations on NITBO's watch!!
