More shocking, Spieth or Smylie
Posted on 4/11/16 at 12:49 pm

Spieth finishing 3 behind Willet, or Smylie shooting an 81 and dropping to 29th place?
Spieth has shown plenty of clutch moments in his short time on tour, and this was Smylie's first Master's. I was more shocked to see Spieth collapse, but some co-workers disagree. Either way, I believe Smylie will bounce back and bring home multiple Majors in his career.

Spieth and it's not close imo

Speith
Smylie has never been in such a crucial moment in his life
I am not sure anyone expected Smylie to pull it out...Speith hitting a quad bogey was the most shocking point in the tournament outside of Ernie Els completely losing focus on the first hole

Im going with this one.
Smylie is ranked #48 in the world. That was an EPIC collapse for a top 50 golfer.

Smylie was expected to do that. That was the first time in his PGA career he's been in a position like that and for it to come at the Masters, that's a huge amount of pressure.
Spieth has finished tournaments in the past. A quad when he was so close to wrapping it all up is a collapse of epic proportions. So this is my choice.

I love Smylie, but in his first big tournament ever, I expected him to have a rough day. Spieth is one of the top golfers in the world, had about a 4 stroke lead with 6 holes to play, had a quad bogey, and lost. Total choke job. That was easily the more shocking event.

look, Smylie seems like a really good guy, has talent, and we like that he's a Tiger. But multiple majors???
Really???

Smylie is not shocking at all to anyone who has any kind of understanding of playing golf.

Smylie lost a lot of money yesterday

Spieth. Defending champion, previous 2nd place who quad bogies a Par 3 vs a virtual unknown in the final pairing in his first Masters.
Posted on 4/11/16 at 2:56 pm to BayouBengals1209
Spieth's tee shot at 12 was foolish. He should have been aiming 20 feet left of the pin. It's his third shot chunk into the water that was maybe the worst pure choke in major golf history.

Bro Spieth...Smylie got nothun to prove, didn't have a shot in the dark to win. He's good but doesn't have enough experience and nerve control yet to win on Sunday's. Smh

Spieth
Posted on 4/11/16 at 3:33 pm to BayouBengals1209
I would say Speith. That was really bad on #12. Did anyone see that coming?
As for Smylie, I love to see LSU players do well so I was pulling for him. Not too surprised that his round went that way. Hoping he learns the most from his experience and goes on to a lot of tour wins.

Spieth's melt will go down as one of the most shocking moments in golf history, so it's easily him.
The only thing shocking about Smylie is how bad he blew up. Most people were expecting a blow up, but something more in the 77-78 range.

the legendary bobby jones, arguably the greatest golfer of all times wrote about the pressure surrounding major tournaments, esp the Masters. he couldn't eat, he couldn't sleep, he couldn't relax at all. it was like ulcer producing. golf is a differnet sport in that it is individual and very mental and emotional. smylie kaufman did a hell of a job even if he succumbed to the pressure the last day. he's not alone. bobby jones succumbed to it sometimes too. learning how to deal with that takes years and probably professional help also. I love the guy and look forward to following his career.

Spieth by a long shot. It's not even that Spieth lost it's how he lost. If you would have told me Jordan Spieth would hacker chunk two balls in the water and shoot a 7 on a Par 3 I would have laughed in your face. It's just not likely for something like that to happen to a player of that caliber. I expected Smylie to have a bad round just because it's a high pressure situation. You're paired with arguably the best golfer on the planet in the final round of the Masters and it's his first time in a situation like that. The guy played great golf and just folded under the pressure of the moment and that is completely acceptable in the situation he was in. He'll be a good tour player I believe and win some tournaments in the future though. I don't see multiple majors or anything but maybe one later down the road.

Are you freaking serious? Smylie is a nobody, at least at this point. The odds were he would fold like a cheap suit under the pressure of being in the final pairing at the Masters on a Sunday.
Spieth had already been in this position the last two years. His collapse was totally unexpected.
