Talking About Getting 'Absolutely Boned' On Good Shots, Debating With His Caddie - We Got The Perfect Jordan Spieth Clip Today At The Memorial
I love this from Spieth and I say this as someone who isn't a Spieth fan. There's something that warms my heart when I see a pro golfer go through the same range of emotions as myself on the course. Granted, this is much better and he can scramble where I'm just mentally taking a double bogey, but this is basically what goes on in my head for 18 holes. I swear I hit it good, or at least good enough and it takes a bounce or gets buried somewhere.
While the getting boned does still the show here, the sigh before saying fuck it (essentially) is good too. It's exactly how Jordan Spieth plays. Him and Michael Geller debating what to do, Spieth just looking around and basically just going for it no matter what. It does make him fun to watch because he's always capable of a triple or an eagle out of nowhere. It's also where people complain about him being whiny. It's basically every conversation with him and Geller and just resulting in Spieth doing whatever is on his mind at the time. Might be a pretty good indicator as to why he's even through 16 right now somehow.
I watch a lot of golf, especially these early rounds where it's perfect to throw on while I work. This is what I want more of. I'd love to hear these guys mic'd up and hear more of the thoughts, especially when things aren't going great. I know right now nobody wants to talk to media and there's a fight about every goddamn thing in this sport, but give me mic'd up content hearing guys figure shit out. It makes me feel better and it's way more entertaining than hearing people guess what they were trying to do.
