[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

on this course it almost is

17 and 18 hole locations are both accessible. 18 less so, but with a great drive and a lofted club in hand... more than doable.

They were joking Spieth's so slow we'd have a monday finish. Well, clock is 00:47.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Speith made 4 in a row just today.

That was before the quadruple bogey.

 

[Shrimper]

My internet keeps cutting out and it is pissing me off.

 

[John Price]

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Should come down to the final putt either way. The way a major deserves to end.

Couldn't agree more.

 

[Captain Bowie]

That was before the quadruple bogey.

Yeah so?

 

[Shrimper]

So, if he doesn't birdie the 17th then barring a crazy shot to get on the green in 1, Willett should win?

You can't drive 18... would need a hole out

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Willett's gonna win. Two birdies isn't happening.

Not like Spieth needs a third major, his problem will be being able to not become Dustin Johnson for the rest of his career after this. How can he close if he's in this position at the next major or the one after that?

Can't get on 18 in one. Would have to hole out for eagle.

Oh so not only he can't possibly make 2 birdies, he can't even be a dominant player any more because he made a 7 on 12?

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Yeah so?

Mentally.

 

[Tony Romo]

yep, that's it. Unless this guy hits the most amazing shot.

 

[The Jesus*]

That's all she wrote

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Either a hole out from the bunker and bird at 18 or an eagle hole out at 18 for Spieth to force a playoff now.

 

[Captain Bowie]

Mentally.

Yeah he's won multiple majors at age 22 because he's mentally fragile.

An eagle on the par-4 18th is not exactly in the realm of possible. So he needs to birdie 17.

 

[Roughneck]

Couldn't agree more.

Looks like that dream is over.

I don't think you understand what he's saying. Case in point, Dustin Johnson. Golf is partly physical, partly mental... the mental aspect can derail careers. Golfers have long memories. If it were anyone other than Spieth, I could see that wreaking havoc with a player's psyche very easily the next time they got in a similar position at a major. Spieth is a different animal though.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I don't know. It must be pretty hard to rebound after what happens on #12. How can you forget that?
