This Sunday at the Masters.."Not quite a horse race yet"

2015 Masters scoreboard http://www.masters.com/en_US/scores/index.html


I didn't wish any ill will on Jordan Spieth on Saturday, he is a great young man and a fabulous golfer, a soon to be world #1. I just wanted him to shoot 72 to give the rest of the guys a chance to get to within a couple of shots...


Well, after posting 64 66, he went out and shot 70, -16 with a gutsy flop shot up and down for par at the 18th to cap it off. He actually made some bogey's for the first time this week but every time he did he bounced back. Bogey at 4, birdie 2 at 6, bogey at 7 birdie 3 at 9, birdies at 12, 13 but bogey at 14, followed by birdies at 15 and 16, double bogey at 17, staring at bogey at 18, but then the flop shot...


Remember he has been 1st, 2nd 2nd in his last three outings and he played in the final group at Augusta with Bubba last year, so this is not the Rory who had the 4 shot lead in 2011 at 21 and fell apart on the back nine...


Others did try to make it interesting. Justin Rose birdied 5 of the last 9 for a fine -5 67 and he will play with Spieth today in the final group at -12, but is spotting the young Texan 4 shots.


Phil Mickelson, the crowds darling also shot 67 and is at -11, while Charlie Hoffman continues his fine Masters with 71 for -10.


Rory shot 68 and along with Tiger's 68, are at -6, twelve shots back..


So folks, it's not quite the horse race I'd hoped for......yet..
