Jordan Spieth departed the Masters for the second straight Sunday having deposited a ball in the water at Augusta National’s 12th hole. Rickie Fowler had to endure that sinking feeling of allowing a golden opportunity to win his first major drown in imperfection.
Just seven feet of smooth-as-felt Augusta National green separated Justin Rose on the 72nd hole of the 81st Masters from being able to seemingly slip his arms into sports’ most famous jacket.
We’ve seen some awesome celebrations the past couple years at the 16th hole, where aces have come in abundance in the recent final rounds at the Masters. Matt Kuchar’s on Sunday at the 2017 Masters is right up there with the best.
Rickie Fowler ”loves” the way it’s going in this Masters. The week has been “nice.” It’s so “cool” that Augusta National demands “imagination and creativity”. He’s “enjoying” everything because it’s all “great”. Such a “blast”, dudes.
Not even quadruple-bogeys in back-to-back Masters rounds or being 10 shots behind after Thursday could keep Jordan Spieth from getting back to a familiar position by Saturday night: in the mix to win another green jacket.
Instead of competing in the Masters this weekend, Dustin Johnson is at home in Florida, and doing “a little better every day”, according to his trainer Joey Diovisalvi.
