    I clearly wrote that he may win another major or 2 but that's it. 6 is a pipe dream. I'll go full Mello on that one

    Who is crowning him with a moral victory?

    He's been fighting his swing for most of the Spring. He's definitely over-extended himself over the offseason (hard to blame him for the blatant money grabs) that come with the success he's had. But it's definitely impacted his game. I'm sure as things become more normal he'll get closer to normal again.

    But the reality is that he was hitting a ton of bad shots all week and getting bailed out of it with his putter. It finally caught up with him where he hit some shots where he couldn't afford to him them.

    If you recall 2 years ago, in a similar situation on Sunday, Spieth shot for the flag on 12 and put it into the water. He knew the smart play was to go to the center of the green and agreed with his caddy on the play. He changed his mind standing over the ball and paid dearly for it. For as cool and reasoned as he is, he fucked up obviously with his drop and execution of his 3rd shot. Shit happens. Happens to just about everybody that has ever played golf. It happened to Phil on the 18th hole ... pretty sure Phil's been just fine after that and has won/contended in a number of majors. If anything, Spieth will learn from this and be better in the future. If anything, for the first time, Spieth showed his real age on the course realizing that he had Willet chasing him from behind, knew he was playing with a real shady game at the moment, and decided that he needed to press the issue instead of playing his game. He paid dearly for it. Lesson learned.

    I'd go as far as saying that I'd be shocked if Spieth didn't win one of the remaining 3 majors, Players, or Olympics.

    Flagged for implying that the Players and Olympics matter
