Spieth's Attitude

triplebogeyblues · April 10, 2016

Willett looks like Ramsey from GOT, but obviously with "working parts".

mlwenzlick · April 10, 2016

Do I think Spieth has an attitude problem? Absolutely not, case #1 was him pretty much bawling his eyes out walking up 18 today. The game means a ton to him, and it pains him to lose. Precisely what we want to see when we turn on the tv to watch these guys play. I love him talking to the ball too, it provides more depth to the viewing experience that the announcers will never be able to replicate.

Ian Poulter dropping S and F bombs every time he has an errant tee shot though? That's attitude.

No handshake, smile and half hearted 'congratulations'.... JS is a sucky baby looser.

What's a looser?

A guy who cannot spell loser.

Maybe I should've added more Os for the looooser effect.

One day people will realize what Jordan is a spoiled privileged country club brat and a masters cough cough cough choker ! I don't dis like Jordan I dislike the announcers that just love everything Speith does . The only other athlete I have witnessed this type of favoritism toward is Tom Brady . Televised golf is in a terrible place trying to replace Tiger . The tour is experiencing the course of Tiger !!!!!!!

You're a moron. He grew up a member of Brookhaven here in Dallas. I live here. It costs less to be a member at Brookhaven than it does to go to topgolf once a week. It is literally one of the most affordable cc's in the United States. He doesn't have a silver spoon at all.

Jordan has been acting like a spoilt child almost every round he has played this year. The " mature beyond his years " label has been replaced with constant whining on almost every shot and " always getting the worst breaks " type of attitude. I feel his display at this year's Masters was unprofessional and not appreciated by many of his playing partners.

LOL spoilt, word of the day.

BoomerSooner214 · April 10, 2016

He's become a Diva. I like him even less now. Telling the camera guy to get away from him. LOL Shut up Jordan, you are still not good enough to hold Tiger's jock.

Nothing wrong with what he said. He politely asked them to get the camera out of his face. If you think that is rude you're overly thin skined.

George Carlin was so right... The pussification of America.

Camera was not anywhere near his face. He was 10 feet away. Yes, PUSSIFICATION: see also; Jordan Spieth.

Something tells me you're a couch potato with a keyboard....nothing more.

See ol Rockinar's topic about Augusta being a snoozefest. That's all you need to know.

you're kidding right? what's he suppose to do? take him out to dinner and kiss his Word not allowed?

JS plays off as a good guy to the media... I've heard comments like 'gentlemen, respectful, yadda yadda' if he's going to brand himself that way shouldn't he behave that way all the time in front of the camera? Put on a fake smile and shake the man's hand, man up.

Czervik n Smails · April 10, 2016

Should JS have shaken his hand? Yes of course. Not sure why he didn't. I'm sure his papa taught him how to be gracious in defeat.

LittleLeftToRight · April 10, 2016

The true character of a man is determined not by how he acts when things are going his way, but by how he acts in the face of adversity. Not shaking Willett's hand tells a lot about Spieth, as does his whining on the course. It seems to me that he is progressing in a direction that is quite contrary to the persona the media is trying to put forth. After all was said and done today, I wondered how Nicklaus would have acted after a round like Spieth had. Nicklaus would have smiled and congratulated Willett on the obvious great round he had, and he would have meant it.

Ah yes. Spoilt. The hybrid of spoiled and spilled. "Don't cry over spoilt milk.....or bad diction"

How many green jackets do you folks have again? That's what I thought you had. Remember the fact you called Jordan Spieth a choker the next time you step up to #1 tee on your goat ranch public golf course with your playing partner that shoots a 95.

sjt4718 · April 10, 2016

He's a 22 year old kid yes that's right a kid. There's no way in hell a rich,intense kid isn't going to come off punky for lack of a better word. It doesn't help that he's already an emotional guy to begin with. I think this is only going to make him better and he's going to have a serious chip on his shoulder for yhe next 20 years or so.

Oldboy · April 10, 2016

So non Masters winners forfeit their ability to make comments about YJS? That eliminates everyone on here. I don't get that argument. This is a golf forum last I checked

joechang · April 10, 2016

Not sure if anyone else caught the comments as he was walking off 18th.

Blocked his face, and said to the camera, "Not in the face, please". As if the media needs to only show him in the light he wishes.

Realize he just gave a second green jacket away, but like 12th, was another indication that the dude is still 22.

Czervik n Smails · April 10, 2016

His doctor did a nice job with his hair transplant. Looks pretty good.

Would you like to cry on national tv with a zoom shot?

Sir edward of putternut · April 10, 2016

I like that he brings a little flare to the tour. Sometimes he goes overboard but he's 22, any person on this site who claims they were Johnny gentleman at that age all the time is lying.

I can't stand the perfectly primmed and tucked look most of these guys portray(though I did love watching luke Donald in his prime). I hope the tour becomes less robotic. Could be a generational thing...but I'm as excited to watch the tour as I've been in 20 years and spieth is a big part of that. Could he be a villain on tour someday, maybe. Golf needs personalities, not 50 perfect replicas of perfection.

OMG!! OMG!!! He wanted some space away from the camera because he was about to lose it. And can you believe he even had the audacity to say "please!?!?" What an a-hole!!

Then again, I'm sure you would have handled it much better, especially with you're depth of experience handling similar pressure situations and not coming through.

Exactly...think about Michael Jordan crying and what that has turned into.

straightshot7 · April 11, 2016

Honestly, I've never really liked Jordan Spieth. He annoys me.

However, I started to like him more after today. The way he kept his dignity and was so open and honest after his collapse, makes me respect him more.

I posted this in a different topic but I think it fits better here

I was thinking the same thing. Willett should get that number

nochct1 · April 11, 2016

I think many of you need to look in the Mirror and figure out why you dislike Jordan as much as you do. Who cares if Jordan Spieth has a few flaws. He seems like a pretty decent guy and he's an incredible golfer.

He went out as defending champion and played great golf except for a terrible three hole stretch. He provided hours of entertainment that every one of you watched.

But I guess that to be expected here. He just getting a little taste of the Tiger, Bubba, Keegan treatment.

Guia · April 11, 2016

I would cry and shake the winners hand at the same time. A very emotional time, I would bet he did congratulate the winner.

I'm on Spieth side, been a fan of his for years. I was just have a chuckle at the word "spoilt"

Exactly....I am not mad at Speith for being a tool- (which he is), I resent that he i simultaneously a petulant jerk and hailed as the prototypical classic gentleman.

The film clips I watched showed Spieth shaking Willet's hand BEFORE he put the jacket on him. I viewed it twice so I am certain about what I saw..
