What a season.
Spieth and Day both breaking records. Not to mention Rory. The next 20 years are going to be amazing. |

That was impressive. Day went blow-for-blow with Spieth, and everytime Spieth applied the pressure, Day had an answer. Drove it dead middle all day, hit some monster putts, and generally went out, grabbed the tournament by the throat, and never let go. Hats off.
Also, Jordan Spieth's finishes in the majors this year: 1-1-4-2. This was a masterpiece of a season. One can't help but wonder what happens if the R&A doesn't send him out to play 1 hole in that tornado at St. Andrews that he subsequently bogies (and as everyone recalls, he finished 1-stroke out of the playoff...is anyone betting against him if he makes that playoff?). |

There were some other great shots and performances by the top 10 finishers. The announcers were talking about not just a Big 3, but possibly a Big 6 to compete for the next however many years.

It really makes his performance at Sawgrass all the more impressive, and yet out of character. I wouldn't mind seeing him excel, but I think Sawgrass is the exception and not something we should expect throughout his career. |

Golf is too unpredictable to make any definitive statements about 20-somethings. I'll just enjoy what unfolds and stay away from any grand predictions about a "Big-whatever" for a decade.
The Spieth bandwagon is strong though, that's for sure. People weren't even waiting for Day to finish the hole before moving on. It was kind of pissing me off. I gained a new-found level of respect for winning a major. The atmosphere around the final group is a zoo that you don't really get a feel for on TV. There's constantly people moving and making noise in the background for every single shot they hit. I can only imagine what it was like with Tiger. |
