Absolutely nothing wrong with what Sergio did.

Pros miss short putts ALL the time.

Google Craig Stadler, 1985 Ryder Cup mised a 14 inch putt and lost his match. Good thing it wasn't conceded.

IK Kim, 2012, Kraft Nabiso, major championship, final hole , missed a 12 inch putt, didn't win the championship.

Many other similar examples.

Make the putt

What a great round of 16 matchup between Rory and Zach Johnson. They are out early and quickly are trading blows. Compelling Saturday morning TV for sure.

I'm also interested in seeing how Patrick Reed fares this morning. Reed has mowed down his competition so far.

Spieth get Oosthuizen this morning; more compelling TV.

Great weekend for lots of rain. I'll be watching for sure.

What a great match between Zach Johnson and Rory McIlroy. It went to the 18th hole with Rory 1UP, and Rory stiffs a wedge to 3 feet, but Johnson drains a no brainer for the birdie, forcing Rory to make the knee knocker, which he did. Rory just had too much for Zach to handle, even when Rory admitted neither player was at his best.

Meanwhile Kuchar and Koepka went to the 18th as well with Koepka 1UP. Both players drained long putts to give Koepka the win. So many clutch putts in such a short period of time. These guys are really good with the flat stick in their hands.

And it would appear that Jordan Spieth will be making the drive home this afternoon as Louis Oosthuizen is making quick work of the current world #1.

Kuchar's putting lost it for him today.
Spieth has lost his magic touch with the putter as well.

    Spuzz Spieth has lost his magic touch with the putter.

    He , like all that have entered into The Game, concentrate too much on making the putt rather than letting the Putt make itself.

      Weirfan that's a lie and you know it. Next thing you'll say you don't like poutine.

        Oh, I do like Poutine, as long as it's good, authentic . getting a bit too popular and too many places trying their hand in it, unsuccessfully. Best Poutine is in Quebec.
        Last summer My son and I found this little out of the way burger shack in the Quebec mountains that won the Poutine wars.

        Glad we didn't order the large 🙂

        I think Spieth will be just fine. His putting will ebb and flow, just like it does with just about everyone else. He had a remarkable season last year on the greens, and although he's yet to recapture that same degree of confidence in his putting this season - it's not like he sucks rolling the ball, whatsoever. One thing he does need to probably consider, however, is that playing consecutive tournaments internationally will take a tremendous toll on his game. He realized that over the winter and admitted as much, so I wouldn't be shocked to see him nix a few tournaments from his schedule next year.

        But the other factor that is probably more at play is that it's not like he's teeing it up with a bunch of nobodies. Bubba, Mickelson, Jason Day, Dustin Johnson, McIlroy, Adam Scott, Justin Rose... these are just a few of about a dozen or so guys who are playing some pretty good golf and have played pretty good golf (some of them) for a few years now. It's not like they don't have the talent to win multiple events each season. So to expect anyone to dominate the game for longer than a season-long stretch is unlikely, although Jason Day is certainly trying to prove that wrong at the moment.

        Speaking of Day... he can win on just about any type of layout. He can win on long courses, short and tight courses, he can manage the wind, and he's undoubtedly been the best all-around player for the past couple of seasons, if you consider all aspects of his game. He's still riding the momentum from a great year last season, and I certainly would have to believe he's the player to beat next week in the Masters.

        But... he still has to go out and execute, for four rounds, and that's not easy at a major. So as much as I'd like to see him continue his major run - he's facing some stiff competition and will have to play some excellent golf.

        I think we're gonna enjoy one helluva show next week at Augusta.
