Jordan Spieth Appreciation Thread - Page 9 - Golf and Golf Tournament Forum

BYN, this isn't a 1,000,000 hand poker win rate question. It is a binary outcome, who won the tournament. It doesn't matter if he dodged bullets or not, he beat the field and won a playoff.

Pass/fail. We don't question who won the Super Bowl every year because we accept outcomes. If we only wanted to know who *should* win we would just look at world rankings and never play a single event.

He should apologize to the sponsors and give the trophy back since he didn't win and just backed into this

The 18-23 year old talent following Spieth around this weekend was worth the price of admission.

All that available tail and I think he has a longtime girlfriend. All GOATs sleep around. Spieth needs to get busy.

Summer after his freshman year at Texas I walked with him for a seven birdie front nine 28 at Conway Farms, home of the 2013 BMW Championship. When the member asked him if he wanted to play the back and try to break 60/Luke Donald's course record 61, he said no, I just want to go eat, I am done. He was NINETEEN.

I'm still not very happy with him about letting Bubba win the Masters last year

Friend was paired with Speith in the US Am a few years ago and said the kid is super super cool.

Spieth is awesome. I read an article yesterday where he had Justin Thomas' car towed because he was late and parked in Spieths spot. (They are great friends) Was pretty funny though, he only had it moved a few lots over but Thomas freaked out. Good stuff

No idea, but on 1, 346 yard par 4, he drove it pin high left in a bunker with a standard 40 foot bunker shot and didn't get it up and down, missed a 15 footer straight up the hill for birdie on 2, then reeled off 7 in a row to finish.

Good story, but it never surprises me when a 30 something tour player wants to be anywhere but the golf course when he is not getting paid, no matter how many under he is. But a 19 year old am with a chance to break sixty on a Tour caliber golf course? That's impressive cockiness.

Little bump here, watching Spieth his last two events he's becoming my favorite player on TOUR.

He's finishing up at San Antonio as I type this, but he's got that aggressive mentality that champions are made of. Sitting on 17th fairway, down 4 to Walker he's talking to his caddy about holing out from the fairway then making eagle on the next. Of course birdies for 4 in a row. Definitely gonna challenge Rory and Dustin for #1 for the next decade.
