Video: Masters Supercut, Jordan Talks To His Ball Edition
/Michael David Murphy has done another of his fun final round supercuts, only this time it's just Jordan Spieth talking to his ball.
Watching this you'd swear he shot 80, not 70 to tie Tiger Woods for the Masters scoring record.
Meanwhile Spieth was asked by Doug Ferguson whether he was upset about not breaking the Masters scoring record. A little, he said.
"When I was reading it I thought to myself, 'I've been told after each round about some record. I'm sure it's for something. Let's make it,'" Spieth said.
Sure enough, he missed a 6-foot birdie putt on Friday that would have broken the record for the lowest 36-hole total at any major. He made par for 66 in the second round and still set the Masters record at 130.
Spieth reached 19 under with an up-and-down birdie behind the green on the par-5 15th. He made an 8-foot par putt on the 16th that was important — just look at the intensity of his fist pump — because he kept a four-shot lead over Rose on what had the potential for a two-shot swing. He narrowly missed a birdie on the 17th.
And then he bogeyed the 18th.
"It looks like I looked at the chip, but I had a lot of thoughts in my head and I was just enjoying that whole moment," Spieth said. "I wished I had maybe glanced at it, tried to read it. But it matters very little at this point."
