Everyone is making way to much out of this . He had one bad hole in s week he really wasn't at the top of his game. He was leading for three rounds with some of the worst winds they have had there.


Well the only way you're going to have a collapse is if you've played well enough to be in the lead up to that point. You can't talk about his collapse and simultaneously disregard it because he played great for 3 days.

Honestly I'm surprised so many people want to sugar coat the damn thing. He fell apart on 12 and it cost him a major. When the best players in golf history have 18 and 14 majors, losing one when you've got a 5 stroke lead with 9 holes to play is a pretty big deal. It's not like you're going to win another 20 or so majors to lessen the blow.

Yeah, he collapsed. Its not like he just had a few bogeys and allowed Willett to catch him.

How in the world he was in sole possession of the lead for three straight days with as many bad shots as he hit I'll never understand. It's a testament to how great his short game has been. He was playing far from his best golf yet he held the Masters lead for three straight days. I find that very impressive.
