Agreed with all of the above on Spieth. Was just telling my wife the same thing. I'm sure he's a nice guy but he's terribly boring to watch play golf. He doesn't hit it that long, doesn't take too many risks, etc... The best thing I can say about him is his misses are better than everyone else's. That probably sounds like I'm short changing him but I do mean it as a compliment. His mental game is better than everyone else's.
It's not close. And if there has been a smarter, more composed, more resilient and mentally tough athlete of his age in professional sports, I have not seen him recently. Or her.

Which makes him a delight to root for because he does not put you through a wringer.

This is more of where I am on him. In terms of the corporate. I find the whole Team Spieth BS to be absolutely insufferable. It's funny because Spieth is almost the anti-Tiger. He is in some ways repeating Tigers success but somehow doing it in exactly the opposite way

For me I am rooting for the field against him in every tourney

I think he's gonna give one back here. Tough to hold the green from back there, and hard to get up and down from long.

They did say earlier in the broadcast that's Jordan's swing coach flew in last night to work with him this morning. I think it's made a big difference...certainly off the tee which is where he was making his biggest mistakes this week.

I've never seen anything like that Oosty shot on 16. This is incredible.

McIlroy made a pretty impressive mess of this tournament the last 2 days

Wow that's huge. Would have been an enormous par save on 11.
