*** The Masters - Sunday - Payday

it wasn't a full blown choke. he didn't carry on choking to the finish. he held it together to finish 2nd

Is Billy Payne getting more and more effeminate each year?

Honestly there is a hair product out their called rogaine (regain lost hair). I'm convinced Spieth is taking that. That stuff messes with your hormone balance. Speith doesnt seem to have the same bottle he had last year.

this billy payne dude is a right jerk

speith oh poor lad boat race on him

lol bob

30 minute lapse of concentration rather than a choke, imo.

He chocked to some degree on day 2 and on day 3. Today it was just more epic

spieth looks like he's at a funeral

this is real cringe TV

yeah but come on bob - imagine losing the Masters like that and then have to be in there to hand over the jacket

Willet looks like he would be working at Greggs if it wasnt for golf

LOL SPIETH NEARLY FELL OVER

jesus - thought Jordan was going to hit the deck then!

No one but himself to blame HH

Spieth struggling with life now.

Wish he did and smacked his head on mantlepiece the clown..

spieth is as wooden as f&ck
absolutely no charisma

hope he didnt lose you too much jedi

think speith will win over 10 majors  in next few years

Willett taking the pish out of Spieth for almost collapsing again, when handing over the green jacket!

Golf is "a heart-ripping game"

Golf is "like dominoes".


I've heard both tonight, which is right please?

Messed up in running bigtime..actually bet willett at start..small win...one that got away!!

WILLETT IS THE MASTER, GOODNIGHT!

anxious..i'll agree with the 0 part but not the 1 b4 it

Willett the son of a preacher man.

Speith will struggle from here. Will get the jitters whenever he is in the lead at any tournament

Everyone get on Stenson to win the fedex at the end of the year

no the kid lost the plot today but he still a top player

speith had a cluster-fcuk 12th hole

BUT

Willett 5 birdies NO bogeys

Masters Champion

speith a far better all round player than rory

once his putting touch ever goes

bubbling...

Spieth is certainly broken now.

He had the green jacket on, in his own mind when 5 up. Decided a par finish would do it, and over relaxed. Then bailed out on his swing.

Speith drop shots at the 10th and 11th, drop shots end of the round day 2 and 3. all when clear out in the lead. The 12th was just the icing on the choke cake

u can see he's uber gutted
fair play to come out and talk about it
f*cked if i'd want to

How can anyone say he didnt choke..it was **** monumental.....

What a tournament -had more drama than The Twelfth Night

putting seems a skill that is a lot harder to lose then over aspects of the game which is fortunate for him

speith a far better all round player than rory


Putting is the only thing that lets Rory down.
Spieth has all manner of swing issues.

mcilroy  crashed out on third day

no way will rory win more majors than speith

Rory couldn't grind it out on the greens.Simples.

he can't grind it out full stop

If Dustin could ever learn to putt -even reasonably- he would win a bucket of majors imo.

Golf is certainly a game of two halves.
Swinging & putting

Dustin ob at Pebble Beach and in Clarke's open when in pole position, that wasn't putting.

surprised at speith though I thought his temperament was his biggest plus , seemed to panic in last few days

Jason Day is the most all rounded golfer in the world but even he hit back to back double bogeys. A tough tough course.

I thought ricky fowler another one who was well backed , crashed out on first day , agree augusta is a tough one

anxious

Spieth was fighter his swing all week long. If he had won then it would have been remarkable for a winner to not even be in the 40 on hitting stats.
Eventually his swing let him down and badly, once he started to play for pars

*fighting

yep his driving was poor

Speith got lucky with the wind day 1, had the run of the balls. With his swing he shouldnt have even have been top 10, but somehow he was.

so is everyone saying now speith will not win more majors

If speith has hair, lay him. if he is bald then back him

Im convinced he is doing some kind of hair replacement therapy and that stuff messes with your hormonal balance causing him to lose his bottle

All credit to him for being out there in the lead for so long without being in the top 40 on other stats.
His course management was terrific and obviously his putting is the best.
He took offence to someone on twitter not long ago who suggested that if his putting is slightly off then he is a bog standard player.
He better get ready for more criticism, but i think he is a natural born winner regardless of today.
He played two bad holes and one catastrophic hole consecutively  when he really thought that the tournament was won.
What happened, he was always such a winner, someone who tightened the screw.
He will win many more but this is a massive blip. I can't see him doing this again.

@Zen. He did the same thing on day 2 and 3 when clear of the field. Doing it a 3rd time was just unforgivable. It was more then just a massive blip. I made tons of money on Speith, but he is a no bet for me from now. I hope this humbles him and he comes back a more pleasant golfer (on course). Despite everything, he is good for the game

PGA Tour.com headline 212 hours ago
"Green Jacket is Spieth's to lose on Sunday"
Betfair should check for suspicious betting patterns.

*21 hours

dib

He was 3 over for the 17th/18th last year for round 3 & 4, and 4 over this year for round 3 & 4

I don't see that as a choke issue, it's just how he plays the last two holes, he just isn't that set up for them or he over attacks etc, but all the players have blips throughout the 4 rounds.

Dissapointing masters for me. Rory and Phil useless and my longshots all came low 20's . Worse still was how close i was to backing Westwood E/W at 200/1 with his immense form at Augusta but didnt pull the trigger

ahwell

How low did Speith go at the turn ?

I saw 1.14 around that time but he may well have gone lower than that

Cheers.

He was at 1.1 to back and 1.11 to lay. Not sure whether he went lower than that.

Totally distraught. Willett has haunted me for three years. £27.03 on at 90, gave it all away, exactly where do
the 3p came from no idea. Darkened room and a bottle of brandy needed.  Well done, Danny.

Spieth went to 1.09 for a few thousand. 1.10 for approx 400k and 1.11 for 500 or 600k

The most dangerous saying on the forum.

speith looked free money

not sure if im annoyed i didn't back Willett when i rated him before this tournament and could have had big price or happy that Spieth facked up when i backed Day over Spieth in round 1. Probs more annoyed tbh as id have most likely took the green at lowish odds on Spieth.

The jacket ceremony got a lot of traction on Twitter. Makes me think that aside from those that did defend like Woods and Faldo, defending champs don't seem to have a great record. I can't think of another time where the defending champ would be gutted by not winning and then have to present the jacket, and to lose like he did certainly not. Unique situation that was.

As far as meltdowns go, I think that was worse than Rory in 2011 and worse than the Shark in 96. Worse than Adam at Lytham. The 12th was truly Van De Velde-esque. Think he will be fine ultimately, has shown he can bounce back already.

plenty learnt the hard way ££££££££££££££££

Danny's brothers Twitter account well worth a read

If the boy does what he should, I will be able to say 'I've shared a bath with a Masters winners - brilliant.
Spieth is lining up his putt. If I'm quick I can get a beer, go to the toilet, and paint the spare room b4 he hits it.

Don't forget Speith's wild tee shot on the par 3 4th hole
"please don't go out of bounds, please, please".
It hit the trees, dropped near the green, and he got up and down for par.

It appears Fergie dropped 8k on Speith. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/golf/2016/04/11/watch-sir-alex-ferguson-tell-danny-willett-his-masters-triumph-c/
Willetts first reply is superb.

£8k on spieth, or £8k if he won, or did he back him at evens ?

article seems a bit confused

i doubt fergie will miss the £8 k anyway, its barely a decent bottle of wine

he's well pished

Highlight in today's review of all the best comments goes to Willett's brother Twitter feed.

@P_J_Willett

one seriously bad round cost these two players the masters

casey
mcllroy

steve palmers sunday pricewise extra was danny willett

bet willet at 90/1 and again at 44/1 and again with out spieth 4/1 loved it all.
people can say what they like but there is one thing for sure, and no one can  dismiss it spieth will have that in his mind the rest  of his golfing life,so when he goes to play a crucial shot to win a major he will have that to content with, thats not to say  he cant do it.but he will never be the same player before it happened  thats just fact.his second try over the water at 12 where he hardly reached water is possible the most haunting shot ever for a young man to  forget.

I think he'll be fine. When you're young these things have much less lasting impact.

I think next time Spieth is well ahead on day 4 of the Masters, and he will be, he will stick to plan A and not alter any strategy, i.e. begin to think par par par par par par par par par.
Play his normal game all the way, this will be his lesson.

the one season uptight,petulant,hyper brat has done all his Major winning
