It's golf and these things happen, even in the big time. Having been a spectator twice at that hole, the proper play for Speith with his lead would have been a 3/4 7-iron into the bunker. Easy shot from there, take his par or bogey and move on. What you see on TV is very deceiving as to the difficulty of the hole...it was playing the most difficult on Sunday.

I agree with this. The 12th is famous for blowing up leaders on Sunday. Speith let himself think he needed to be aggressive with his first shot to try to overcome the two bogeys he had just played. He'll have to learn from that. There are places to make up strokes at Augusta National (well for these guys, any way) and 12 is definitely not one of them.
