Winner: Jordan Spieth
Around the wider world of golf: There isn't any wider world of golf this week. Don't you know that pretty much everything stops for the Masters?
One old Longhorn shuffles off the stage and a younger one takes his location.
To me, it is the dominant photo of the week -- a passing of the torch. Ben Crenshaw played his ultimate Masters this week, carrying out on Friday... After which the young player he's been mentoring stepped up to the plate and placed this match away in dominant fashion. Jordan Spieth thrashed through Augusta National like the proverbial Longhorn in a china save, smashing every longstanding document he may want to get his hands on.
All the opposite storylines, as captivating as they had been, are secondary to this one. Not simply due to the fact we've a brand new big name to fawn over, or due to the fact maybe Jordan and Rory and Tiger and Phil are all doubtlessly going to compete towards every other -- a clash of generations -- for some exciting years, or maybe because Jordan simply appears to be a honestly right man or woman who merits to win some thing like this.
No, ir's because greater than every other important, the Masters is set history and approximately passing the best expertise of every generation along to the subsequent. Jordan gets praised for his maturity at this sort of young age, so it's suitable that he gets his first predominant right here.
Of route, we'll have lots of time to speak about the alternative storylines and I'm certain we will at some stage in the approaching months. But for now I'm content material to permit Jordan revel in his new green plaything, as well as his shiny new Limerick Summary. Eventually he is got to get back to paintings on his next stated intention -- in spite of everything, this win most effective got him to #2 inside the international:
At Augusta, vintage records lie damaged.
And even though the new champ?S quite soft-spoken
Rory determined out tonight
He?S in Jordan Spieth?S points of interest
And the Longhorn shows no signs of chokin’. The photo comes from the tournament wrap-up page at PGATOUR.com.
