<p>Yeah you'd think Jordan should do it, he still had 2 doubles out there in tough conditions, Matsuyama didnt putt well and you;d think Langer hit his ceiling today??</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyone else would need a 65 or so with Spieth doing buggar all.</p>

<p>Yeah there's a chance that three rounds of sleeping on the lead will take its toll on Spieth, and he will shoot +3 and fall away. But given he's a champion who has done this before I'd say the chances of that are very slim.</p> -
<p>he's gunning for first wire to wire winner since Floyd in the 70s and will also be the youngest to have more than 1 Masters title, beating Tiger and Jack by a couple of years.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Assume he'll also join an exclusive crew of back to back winners as well (think Tiger did it in the early 00's)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If he plays his game, the rest of the field will be chasing him, surely?</p> -

<p>He's actually gunning for first wire to wire to wire to wire winner of all time in Majors. He won wire to wire last year, and is looking to do it again.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Would be an immense achievement if he got it done.</p> -
<p>ah ok, the graphic I saw didnt say that, but then they said later that he holds the record for 7 consecutive rounds he has lead in (last year and this year) which indicates that is correct...I thought I mis-heard.</p>

<p>Spieth now holds a 4 stroke lead at -6 (-3 for today) through 8 over Englishman Willet and a shot back is Johnson, both through 10.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Spieth has had 4 birdies, a bogey and 3 pars.</p> -
<p>damn, 4 birdies in a row to turn at -7 and a 5 stroke lead!</p>
-
<p>wow, just wow, have to say he is gone now!</p>
-
<p>Spieth with as many bogies as he has pars, and twice as many birdies as pars!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He'll be hating Rays creek!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Willet was paying $61 at the beginning.</p> -
<p>meltdown!! was watching, just hacker level stuff. Tin Cup!</p>

<p>My commute to work takes about 40 minutes, so I had to choose a few holes to miss or else get to work an hour or two late.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>With Spieth up 5 and heading to 11, I made the call to leave then so I would get to work in time for him to be playing 16-17-18. What an error. By the time I got to work it was almost all over!</p>

<p>Danny Willett is a good golfer, and hasn't come from nowhere. That said, it's still a massive surprise.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's a textbook long-shot major victory- stay there or thereabouts without ever being near the lead for 3 rounds, then hole a couple of putts on the back 9 on Sunday as the leaders choke. By the time you hit the front you're so full of adrenaline you barely notice, and you only have to hold it together for three holes. You barely have time to think about it, which is exactly how you want to do it.</p> -
<p>7 birdies in the final round, and you are still over par after 17 holes!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I know Willett has been doing good things on the Euro tour, but hadn't seen much of him.</p>
