It was fun to watch this one. Did anyone else here watch this British Open?

Can’t wait for Spieth to surpass Tiger in terms of Majors won.

Love to know what he said to himself, or what his caddie said to him on 13. He played like a man possessed afterward.

Yup - Spieth got the wheels back on his wagon which was pretty amazing to watch. This win, for a lot of reasons, will be talked about for a long time!

Spieth flipped a switch after 13. He couldn’t buy a putt on front nine and was incredible on 14-18 when everything went in. Too bad for Matt Kuchar. A good guy who deserves a major one of these days.

Spieth was awesome. A fine replacement for Tiger Woods as the Next Big Thing.

Not surprised that he won the British Open. He did very well in the Travelers Open and won that as well.

It’s nice having a class act like Jordan, rather than Tiger who would throw out the ‘F’ word or take God’s name in vain after a bad shot. Tiger. Will never return. He knows he’s toast and must blame his loss of game on “injuries”.

Kuchar and Spieth represented the U.S. with pure class.

I swear, Spieth has to have a remote control bug planted in his golf balls. Honestly have never seen anything like it.

That makes me think of the wedge shot he did on the 17th, the way the ball acted when it hit the green.

He shot a 69 final round to finish at 1 over for the US Open tournament.

Golf is the devils game

Watched quite a lot of it, especially today, Jordon was magnificent. Rory was disappointing, though I’m still on his team. Look forward to Carnoustie.
