It is so fun to watch someone who can pinpoint and drop the ball on the flag and make so many putts, chip it in or real close most of the time.
When he really gets his driver steady and lacing it down the middle most times he will be deadly.
As far as yesterday, Spieth said it perfectly (in interviews I saw) after his round that after # 9 he was at -7 and he knew that shooting just par on the back 9 would almost definitely win it so he stopped attacking.
He said he wasnt aggressive with his swing and on # 10 he left his drive short and right, left his 6 iron approach short and right in the bunker.
Same thing on 11 and 12.
So even the best of players and he is great can lose their concentration, lose their focus or play it too cautious. He said it will really hurt but I bet he learns to keep going after flags. As Nick Faldo said, when Spieth is a little tentative his miss is short and right most times.
I think he is amazing to watch the way he bounces back, wow, after being 6 over on 10-12 he birdies 13, just barely missies birdie at 14, lasers the flag at 15 and gets birdie and then is just a little unlucky at 16 where he lasers the flag but it doesnt check leaving him a tough 10 footer downhill when he might have had a tap in.
he was very close to birdieing 4 in a row again in the same round.
