Jordan Spieth

Wow. How does someone 21 years old do what he's done this year?
Amazing. I can't get my head around how someone so young has mastered such a difficult game and can perform like he does in such pressure situations.
Seems like a nice guy too.

Great effort by Jason Day to hang in there and congrats to Adam Scott on a great final round.

He has no weaknesses. Which isn't to say he's great in every aspect of the game, but he is at least better than average in every aspect.

He's going to be the next big thing of golf if he isn't already!

Don't be surprised if he surpasses the heights that Tiger Woods reached when he was peaking in his golf career.

Yes. The new Bradman. The new Woods. Same old.

He's just a very good player. Time will tell.

didick, what did he do ? Some details would be nice.

Hi Donny,
He's the youngest player to win the US Masters and US Open in the same year, for something like 93 years. He's also one of only six players to do this. He has a chance for the Grand Slam this year.

What astounds me is that he plays with such maturity and seems to be regularly there at the death of the big tournaments and doesn't flinch. Golf is such a difficult sport and I just can't understand how someone can have the talent to play at the top level and succeed, regularly. It's a bit different to footy, which is a team sport, and the careers are short. Golfing careers are much longer and you'd expect up to a point that the more experience you have the better your chances to be near the top more often. He's shown over the last three years he can handle the pressure and has the game to be there too. There have been many collapses in golf over the years (oh how I was gutted by Greg Norman's on Masters' Monday mornings growing up), by seasoned pros. Spieth at this stage looks like he can handle it.

As long as he doesn't have a sex addiction he should win many more majors.

Thanks mate. Just didn't get the last day of the Open.
