How good is Jordan Spieth!?!?

[TheNuclearOne]

He has to flick that lob wedge with 4* bounce at Augusta. He needs more bounce for uphill pitches where the attack angle is steep.

He went pretty well last year with the 4* bounce lob wedge.

Agreed. I might not be a big fan but I'm pretty sure he knows what bounce he prefers.

Probably the biggest example of talking out of one's ass that I have seen here.

Old Internet guy knows more than one of the best golfers on the planet.

Dis. Strange that we didn't hear too much about how he was playing with the wrong clubs when he was up several shots at the turn.

[3oneday]

almost as much fun as watching JS chunk his way through the 12th

nope, he hit it toey because he's open to shut and that happens apparently.

Looked like two fat chunks to the rest of us though

[Captain Nemo]

Attachment 40815 seems to be going ok?

Agree.

[Captain Nemo]

Not bad stats here:

I'll be on him in the next 3 majors, he's a champion they find ways to win (and lose)...,

Agree.

Be the only holes he dominates for a while.

My call - on his way to being the new Keegan Bradley.

Yes after chunking my way through 2015, the extremely large divot taken before the ball sort of gives it away!

He just has to survive the Inquisition. Golf Channel were going into meltdown after. I had to chuckle listening to Duval and Chamblee rabbiting on with their theories.

[Captain Nemo]

Haha, Chamblee he's a muppet!

[Daves]

Haha, Chamblee he's a muppet!

Yup.

Norman's meltdown seems to have been pushed into the annals by what is now considered to be "the worst ever meltdown". I am presuming they are letting Van de Velde off the hook by adding, "at the Masters"?

[goughy]

At least Norman used 18 holes to stuff it up!

Saying that, here is my full indepth analysis of what happened.....

He ****ed up!

[Hamo84]

Couldn't agree more, complete tosser

He has a damn hot much younger fiancé though!!!

He went pretty well last year with the 4* bounce lob wedge.

His ball striking last year looked better on !y screen. This year he left quite a few pitches way short, missing his mark by more than 10 metres. These pitches were all up hill. Up hill lies with low bounce on the wedge can easily stop the clubhead (through digging) when there is ball/ground contact with the leading edge. That's basic wedge fundamentals, pretty common stuff. A lob wedge with 7 or 8 bounce gives a little more safety against digging. With 4* there is little margin for error on uphill pitches and chips.

Yep, an ex World No 1 and ex tour player.

If that made you chuckle, the stuff on here from the internet's premier swing analyst must have made a little bit of wee come out.

And also 2 of golf's serial head cases!

Where are the Depends! Haven't chuckled as much since I last played with Lager!

This.☺

[Daves]

I think everyone is missing the obvious. He duffed those shots because he didn't back off them multiple times. He plain old "rushed" them!

[Hatchman]

I think the term melt is a massive dramatisation of what happened.

I don't think chunking 2 shots on one hole constitutes a meltdown. Stuff up, f**k up, poor course management, brain fart yes. Choke maybe? Meltdown no.
The way I see it is a melt down wouldn't see birdies made on 13 & 15. Backing it up on consecutive holes with more chopped shots for a group or series of dropped shots Involving more doubles or triples would.

Definitely choked, meltdown was more like Rory collapsing on the back 9 when he had the lead

Low bounce wedges come into their own at Augusta due to all the tight lies. A lot of players actually go to lower bounce lob wedges with more narrow soles due to this. At one stage Vokey was calling them Augusta orders. They are pro's, not choppers.
