Jordan Spieth

Think it's time this guy get his own thread, last year I thought he may be a flash in the pan but he seems very consistent in the placings.
He's just passed the $7m mark in career PGA earnings, not bad as he only turned pro last year.
Started 2013 ranked 809, won and ended it at 22, now ranked 9th but was as high as 7th. 16 top 10s since the beginning of 2013.
Seems a cert for the Ryder cup and with a runner up spot in the Masters I can see him challenging for a major this year.
He does not appear to be the best at anything, just very good at everything.

He's a bit of a 'jack of all trades master of none' type golfer alright.

I do enjoy watching him though and he comes across very well in interviews.

Great scrambler, great competitor .

The caddy dialogue is like a Tourette's syndrome though and I really can 't warm to him over it.

A straight forward shot to the heart of the green with a seven iron has to have a Shakespearean lenghth dialogue.

Really surprised the yanks aren 't on his back over it, but he gets a bit of leeway being so young I suppose.

Seems to fall away on a Sunday , ie Masters and Players but i suppose you could always put that down to experience or lack of .

That's weird as the chats with his caddy is one of the reasons I enjoy watching him so much. I think it's good to get to hear his thinking behind why he's playing shots certain ways or how he's so put off by a fly on his ball.

He is not great at anything yet but has the potential to be great at everything.

Just wish the commentators would stop pulling the stomachs off themselves every time he takes a swing

I like it when someone does it as it let's you see their thoughts on a tough shot or on course management , but it's way too much in his case, I don't want to hear you on a 9 iron to a relatively straight forward green for 5 minutes.

They should go to him when he steps up to the shot more.

Just spat tea all over my laptop thanks :pac:

It seems nerves is a big issue with him on the final day but like most said, more situations like it and I'm sure he'll get comfortable with it.

His bendy left arm still upsets me a bit...:(

He'd get ripped to shreds on the my swing thread
