Stallings Wins!
His 9 under really spoiled the party and what would have been an exciting Finish. Congrats to Scott.
Spieth Paid his Dues today with a Final Round 75. Betting him hard Next Tourney.
3 Picks at Top of LeaderBoard but No Money this week.
Is Jordan a Sea Biscuit?
This is Spieth's first year on Tour in which he started the season with an actual Tour Card.
There is no doubt in my mind that he will quickly learn to hold a lead and close. The simple answer to why he gave up the lead today is missed Fairways and approach shots that left him in a bunker or with a long Birdie put.
However., I can't help but wonder if there is a little Sea Biscuit in his sub conscience. His only win came from half a dozen shots back on a Sunday. He has made a habit of coming from behind on Sunday. If you remember the movie Sea Biscuit - you will recall the Big race against War Admiral. There was a tip the Jockey's exchanged - in order for the little horse to win. Let the Other Horse Catch Him. He will Fight for the Lead.
Spieth faces a war Admiral of Sorts tomorrow in Gary Woodland. Woodland has been playing well of Late . He currently holds the lead at 8 Under. He hits the ball a country mile, But is prone to to missing big as well. He is 153rd in Putting. The real threat seems to come from Mark Leishman. I didn't even bet Leishman because his stats were so bad. Mark is well below 150th in Driving Accuracy and GIR. But has frequented the top of the leaderboard several times and may be poised to commit a crime of opportunity if the other leaders leave the door open. Spieth and Leishman will start the day tomorrow - 1 back at 7 Under.
I like Jordan's Odds. Anytime you give Spieth and his Young caddie 2 days to feel out a course - they usually make a pretty nice run - coming down the back stretch.
Torre Pines is Merciless
The hottest golfers on the planet were taken to the shed today at farmers. No punishment was withheld for anyone missing a fairway or shanking an errant approach. The Rough was Deep and the Greens were fast and undulating.
Anyone included Tiger Woods - who failed to make the second cut. He finished 7 over with a Round that included 7 Bogies and 2 Doubles. Michelson with drew with a bad back prior to the Round.
Spieth Starts the Day with 36 Hole Lead
20 year old Rising Superstar Jordan Spieth has once again stolen the Spotlight from the worlds best Golfers. After starting the day 7 back on Friday - he shredded the easier North course with a 9 under round to take the sole lead at 10 Under. He was undaunted by the Media frenzy and pressure of being paired with Tiger. He bettered Woods by 8 strokes yesterday.
This will be a Marathon - Not a Sprint. He shot 1 under Friday on the treacherous South Course. However, he missed two short puts that would have given him a respectable 3 under. Woods stated that pace is needed on these difficult Pollyanna greens. Spieth adjusted his putting mechanics by transferring his weight forward to his left foot. This paid off yesterday with a stellar putting performance.
All players will compete on the More Difficult South course Saturday and Sunday. Putting pace along with Driving accuracy will be key. The Rough is deep and limits a players options on approach to the challenging pin placements and undulating Greens.
Michelson has withdrawn with back pain. Tiger made the cut - but is well back after an unimpressive start.
