It’s time for a new phenom.
Sweet
Yeah, well....Tiger could have done that! /sarc
Perfect torture for leftist sports journalists: a well-mannered white man with a strong religious upbringing. Hopefully he dominates for 2 decades.
Local boy makes good. Go Jordan.
It’s fun to see an emerging star like this. I am around Tiger’s age so it’s a whole different perspective this time. We haven’t seen anyone arrive at this level since Tiger. There have been “next big things” but nothing close to Tiger’s dominance. Rory may be the closest but he’s only had success in small spurts and is no where near dominance the way Tiger was for over a decade. Tiger may still hit those highs again if we’re lucky as fans to see him win a couple more majors. Seeing a young kid just conquer the Masters like this is a rare treat.

The amazing thing about this kid is his lack of nerves. A lot of players have great talent, but Spieth has talent and poise.
So Nice to see Professional Golf have a budding new, respectful, and socially correct image... in Spieth and the fading out of the Arrogant, Self Serving, Bill Clinton Clone ....
In case you didn’t notice, Mickelson is at -6 which is good for 6th place right now.
And 58 year-old Mark O’Meara shot -4 today to be at -3 after two rounds.
The cream is rising to the top....
