Jordan Effing Spieth

[RainH2burntO]

Phil is adored because he blew all those putts back in whatever year...handled it with humility and grace and became very human and relatable to others. A perfect example of how, if handled properly, some of one's greatest failures can become a blessing.

Jordan is tied for the lead at -7 after his first round at the Charles Schwab Challenge--but some players are still on the course.

Crazy but Phil is getting grief for being 10 back.

 

[RainH2burntO]

I'm always surprised when I "log on" to my favorite college sport/University forum, known mostly for football, and see a thread about pro golf and an alum's efforts on the tour leading the most active charge.

That's all.
Oh, and if he doesn't win something soon somebody needs to change the title to "Jordan Spieth"

Getting grief from whom?

To go along with the thread title, eff the media, sports and otherwise.

Spieth (-11) leads after second round

 

[Olehornfan]

Birdie on 18 gives Jordan the 54 hole lead by one stroke.

 

[HornHuskerDad]

Nice round today, but still in doubt - the one-stroke lead can disappear quickly. Need a solid round on Sunday to win it.

 

[Olehornfan]

Match play the final eight holes. Go Speith.

 

[WorsterMan]

Out of town and cannot watch final round today. Thanks for the updates....

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

Speith 2 back with 3 to play.

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

Make that 1 back with 2 to play.

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

Right now looks like they will split the 17th.

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

Still 1 back heading to 18.

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

Spieth craps the bed on his drive.

 

[SabreHorn]

Jordan's tee shot on 18 is knee deep in the weeds on the Trinity River.

 

[horninchicago]

Spieth in the water at 18. I don't recall ever seeing someone in the mix at the end hit it in the water on 18 there.

 

[SabreHorn]

His third shot will need the help of the TCU Navy ROTC - in the water,

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

And into the drink on his 2nd shot. He is done.

2nd place, nice paycheck, but no championship.

Congratulations to Kokrak! Nice guy. Took this pic 2 years ago at Medinah with my daughter and her cousin.

 

[Olehornfan]

Nothing worked for Jordan today. A horrible last round.

 

[HornHuskerDad]

^True statement. The tournament was there for Jordan to win, but he didn't play well enough.

 

[WorsterMan]

Thanks guys.. disappointed for Jordan.

Jordan's tee shot on 18 is knee deep in the weeds on the Trinity River.

Some of my more memorable moments as a teenager happened "knee deep in the weeds on the Trinity". Good time to bring out the 6 iron...

Three rounds in the 60s and then a 73 on Sunday. He got a lucky break on 17 when his tee shot hit a tree and bounced back towards the fairway, but he couldn't take advantage of the break. On 18, he rolled the dice. he knew he had to birdie. I don't blame him too much for that one.

He's back in the hunt almost every week and the third leading money winner on tour this year with almost $5 million.

Lee Trevino, at Tennison and LB Houston in the early 60s??
