Jordan Spieth’s poise and maturity and Masters victory belie the fact that, at 21, he is still a kid, a point eloquently made by two Golf Channel analysts on Sunday night.
Frank Nobilo: “We started this eight days ago with the Drive, Chip, and Putt. The only difference between that and the kids there and Jordan Spieth was just a few iron shots in between. He had the same spirit. Golf’s fun. The kids made it look like fun.”
Brandel Chamblee: “You know, the graduating class of 2015 at the University of Texas walks May 23rd. At a time when Jordan Spieth’s peers are trying to figure out what they’re going to do with their lives, where they’re going to go, and whether they’re going to get a job, Jordan Spieth’s path is crystal clear. A wire-to-wire winner in a major championship at the age of 21, with one exception, is unprecedented in the history of golf. Walter Hagen, in 1914, led wire to wire in the U.S. Open, and that’s it. Not Jack, not Tiger, not Rory, It’s going to be fun to watch Jordan Spieth over the next couple of decades.”
