[woodbuck27]

Hang on .... as the heart of 'a REAL Champion' often prevails:

As I write this Jordan is about five feet behind the hole on NO. 16 and if he makes that putt and he will...he's back from -1 to -4 and one stroke behind the leader Danny Willets @ -5. I see a playoff looming.

Ahh No ! He was a bit high with his put and par and remains two back at -3.

Jordan Spieth collapses, hands green jacket to Danny Willett

By Jay Busbee .... 15 hours ago

AUGUSTA, Ga.— " ..Jordan Spieth was on the most impressive run in Masters history ... and then he hit the second nine on Sunday, handing the green jacket (literally and figuratively) to England's Danny Willett.

The 22-year-old had all but locked up his second straight green jacket on Sunday afternoon, leading the field by five strokes at the turn. And then came Amen Corner, and one of the most improbable Masters finishes in history.>."

Comment woodbuck27:

A bit of trivia and Danny Willet's golf game.

I was informed watching TSN Canada this morning that Masters Champion Danny Willet learned to play golf on Par Three Golf Courses where he was reared in England.

Spieth did collapse. Some how I became a fan of his during the last round. I like how he talks to himself and the caddie. It seems like he isn't some programmed robot out there. Still what a fuck up.

I was wanting Dustin Johnson to actually hit a putt but then realized this is the Masters and Dustin Johnson can't putt worth a damn, otherwise it was his tournament for the taking. He was blistering the pin all day on Sunday.

Jason Day just couldn't get anything going all week. I probably pull for Day more than any other player not named Tiger Woods.

Rory isn't the same player as he was in 2014. He is a shell of himself and if he doesn't start focusing on golf he is going to be a memory a lot sooner than anyone thought.

And then there is Tiger. I think he is doing the right thing by healing his body and not rushing back to the golf course. I just don't know if he will ever get his game back to compete with the young guns on the tour. He is 40 years old with several major injuries in his rear view hopefully he can get back to the Tiger of old and just focus and playing great golf.

Jordan Spieth is too good a ball striker and putter to not be the Worlds NO 1 player. I predict he'll take the Masters disappointment as a learning experience and after that let it go. This young man is an amazing player and one to follow if you enjoy Pro golf.
