On the back of a roller-coaster 1-under 69 and one of the most enteraining back nines of his career, Jordan Spieth won the 146th Open Championship on Sunday by three over Matt Kuchar.

I wish Anthony Kim was still playing.
One of the craziest final rounds I’ve ever seen. It looked like Spieth was finished when he hit that abysmal tee shot on 13. Another memorable moment: when Spieth was griping about a bad bounce that sent his tee shot on the first hole into the rough, his caddy said, “Get over it!” Classic.
Tiger hasn’t done anything of real note since he threw over his wife.
Amazing. A golf story that doesn’t lead with Tiger.
I used to follow golf, but gave it up when it became all Tiger, all the time.
Maybe it’s safe to start watching again.
And John Daly never did much when he was on the wagon.
SPIETH !!
WhattaRally
And a far better representative for The Gentlemen’s Game
It is. Woods brought disgrace to the game
These guys have reclaimed it
His use of the Rules after that disastrous tee shot on 13 was brilliant.
First the declared the ball unplayable, then chose to play from a point straight back far enough to result in an obstruction to his line of sight so he could further move the ball to a reasonably good location.
Scoring 5 there was a huge key to his win.
Congratulations to Jordan Spieth!
Who is this person called “Tiger Woods?”
Link to interview where Spieth mentions the 2016 Masters failure and how it entered his mindset today.

I’m always pulling for Speith and Kuchar, they’re gentlemen contrary to the previous boy wonder.
Sheesh...Spieth.
Everyone who’s ever played Golf knows a large portion of the game is mental.
Tiger lost his mojo and will never get the confidence back like he had.
Naked for all the world to see, now.
Just watching him lose the lead on 13. Bizarre hole.
Exactly where have you been? Tiger last won a tournament in 2013 and has not even played in about 2 years.
What a shot on 14 after the mind meld on 13.
Eagle put on 15 was pure Spieth. What a class kid.
