Love him or hate him, they just did a little segment on his pitch shot on 16 ten years ago. Holy crap what shot. _
Jason Sobel @JasonSobelESPN Jordan Spieth opens 64-66 to tie the lowest 36-hole total in 156 years of major championship history.
gonna go play 9 on Sunday and then watch the rest of the Final round. Throw in the Spring Game tomorrow for the Huskers and man is this a stacked weekend.
I know Stokes but below excerpt from Wiki tells me he might be something in the future. I admit as a guy who only watches final rounds of Majors occasionally, I am not too knowledgable about golf players and this is the first time I heard Speith's name. Good for him. Jordan Spieth (born July 27, 1993) is an American professional golfer on the PGA Tour. On March 15, 2015 at the Valspar Championship he won to become the third-youngest player in PGA Tour history to win multiple PGA Tour events, behind Tiger Woods and Sergio García. He became the fourth player ever to win multiple events before turning 22, following Woods, Garcia and Robert Gamez.[1] Later in March 2015, Spieth moved to a career-high position of 4th in the Official World Golf Ranking.[2]
Jordan has been contending since he turned pro. He's due to win one and when he does the UA Nike rivalry with him and Rory will be marketed like crazy.
Until Nike concedes that rivalry and offers the farm for Spieth's endorsement. I mean we're talking about a little ginger Irish troll with the voice of a child vs. an All American Texas boy. marketing wise, it's no contest.
Somebody will get a count on Nantz tomorrow saying "Spieth" and saying "Tiger." I'm wondering if we'll see a feature piece inserted in the coverage tomorrow and which one it will be about.
Tiger birdied second and third holes. And he is inches away from his 3rd birdie in 4 holes. I say good start for him. Edit: Tiger now -3 on 4 holes and at -5. 9 behind Speith.
I hope he doesn't. I want to have an exciting Sunday. By the way today Tiger made an interesting comment. He said Speith is better than he was when he was 21. Big compliment and I am ready to jump on Speith's bandwagon.
