    Well produced video, but I don't really agree with this characterization. There's no doubt that he seriously fell from the top, but comments like "plummeting into the depths of mediocrity" is a harsh exaggeration to say the least. At 15:06, a false claim is made that Spieth hasn't won since 2021. Spieth won in 2022 at the RBC Heritage. Moreover, Spieth was T3 and T4 at the 2021 and 2023 Masters respectively, while also solo runner-up at the Open in 2021. These results are nothing to sneeze at, considering those results are against the best on the planet. In fact, at 15:41, just looking at his earnings from 2020 through 2023 you can see he has made a significant comeback to form. I'm not saying he will ever again have the kind of run he had in his early career, but saying "20 years from now, that meltdown is all we'll ever care to remember" is totally untrue and undeserved imo

Unless you got some series back injury or something, as long as you practice, that technique and rythm should stay. You dont hear about musicians all of a sudden losing their ability to play. Unless they got injured somehow.

Look at his eyes, at his expression. Before, he was focused, he was determined, he had a desire to compete and to win. I haven’t seen that look on his face in a long time. I hope he can overcome his problems whatever they are.

    I'm not convinced that this was Jordan Spieth's demise. I think we saw signs of his decline months before this happened. Even after his great year of 2015/16, he became extremely erratic off the tee, primarily because he chased distance, thus, altering his golf swing. In his historic year of 2015, he practically made every putt.....literally. Of course that could not be sustainable. Making everything he looked at on the putting green makes every other part of his game much easier to handle or fall into place.
    If you recall, in the 2016 season, he didn't make a lot of putts, not nearly the number of putts he made in 2015. Also, he started having the yips on the tee box. He would grip and regrip his club before swinging, constantly looking at his target, not pulling the trigger. It was little things like this that started to creep into his game. It's quite possible that this moment on the 12th hole at the Masters was the impetus that started it all, but I believe the wheels were already in motion prior to this event, imho.

      Correct. Him doing the regripping reminded me of Sergio. Regripping up to 16 times before swinging and still producing poor shots.

    When the joy is gone and that thing you loved doing becomes a grind, or worse, an agony it's hard to devote yourself to it in the way you once did. When you see yourself bypassed and you begin to feel like a lucky imposter I can only imagine it gets really difficult. When you doubt yourself even a little golf gets very hard at the highest levels. The courses are set up to make you fail and the competition is fierce and relentless. That's why sports are so dramatic and it's why we love them. Jordan Spieth had his great moment in the sun. He's not to be pitied, he is to be admired. We should all know that feeling.

    Hard to imagine Jordan losing his form so badly. I guess he can still get back there. Confidence is a huge thing isn’t it? You’ve really got to hand it to Greg Norman for continually getting back to the top and in contention after some really tough near misses. After the Mize shot in 87, he was back in 88 and 89. Even after 1996, he was back three years later fighting it out. He lost all 4 majors in playoffs, as well as being runner up on other occasions.

  • @AndrewLane-pm2ro
    @AndrewLane-pm2ro 7 місяців тому +1

    Speith's natural shot is a draw. His attempts to hit cuts during the 2016 Masters - with both driver and irons - often turned into slices that left him right and short of the target (eg, his drive on the 11th hole). But thanks to his amazing scrambling, he managed to stay ahead of the field.
    However, at the 12th hole his luck ran out - he attempted another cut, which yet again ended up right and short of the green ... and in Rae's Creek.
    After that disaster, he finally got the message and hit only draws for the remainder of the round. Even on the 18th tee, instead of hitting a cut with his driver (as in the previous rounds), he hit a draw with his 3-wood.

    It’s unbelievable that Rory and Speith haven’t won a major since 2015. Golf is hard! Impossible to predict. Just goes to show how great Tiger really was. A major or tournament win in golf is 20 times harder than tennis. I wouldn’t be surprised if Alcatraz wins 20 majors but 3 for a golfer is all time stuff.

    This video is class after the fact reasoning. He has definitely not performed like 2015. But just plain old regression to the mean is just as good an explanation as the disastrous 12th.
