<p>Spieth capitulated on the 12th, which is waaaay better than Jean on the 18th. </p> -

<p>Choke is a bit much for someone who has 2 majors in quick time. Just had a bad hole. It is not like he repeatedly cracks under pressure. Take that one hole out of the equation and he is in the mix. Norman was suffering from the pressure from the beginning of the round and leaking shots every other hole. Anyway we will see how he responds. </p>

<p>JVDV was a stupid stupid decision to try the shot he did (which TBF, is exactly what I'd of attempted to do...one day that one in a million shot will come off!!)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Apparently this was the first time in 2 years Spieth has not won when leading going into the final round. When you look back over his weekend, he should have won this at a canter, but that it the beauty of the Masters!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Always seems such a tranquil and serene setting for that wonderful game we love to hate, but to pretty much lose the title on that 155 yard par 3 is just brutal - he played that hole par, par, birdie, quadruple</p> -

<p>I will be interested to see if it affects him mentally moving forward. I would guess not, you dont get to his position without being a tough nut mentally</p> -

<p>Rory had a similar meltdown on 10 in 2012 (from memory). Has won three majors since then. Scott choked horribly at the 2012 Open, and won the 2013 Masters. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>He will bounce back for sure.</p> -

<p>From memory, he still got 2 birdies I think after that implosion (ok, also another bogie), but to pull 2 birdies back suggests to me he's quite tough.</p> -

<p>Spieth seemed quite fragile over the final 2 rounds - but he kept sinking putts to make birdies while dropping shots as fast. Final round was 7 birdies for a 73, 3rd round was 5 birdies for a 73, 2nd round was 4 birdies for a 74, 22 in all for the week. In contrast Willett only made 13 birdies but finished 3 ahead.</p>
