heres to the hope that spieth has a shocker today. just make it a bit more interesting. I don't mind him wining it I just want it to be more of a closer contest. unless of course Els was in the same position then i couldn't care less about the contest cos he would win me a nice tidy sum.
Having backed the National winner at 33-1 am now needing Rose for a weekend double. Unfortunately though, done them both as singles ! Would have been around 750-1 double. Still think Speith will hang on.
I have to say, credit to Spieth for sticking in there so far. I certainly didn't expect him to have a 4 shot lead after 3 rounds. It's now his to lose. However, if anyone was going to 'do a McIlroy' on the final day he'd be the most likely purely because of his age. I'd always root for the Brit (or, failing that, any european) in The Masters, so I hope Rose does it, but I'd be reasonably happy if this guy won - I don't mind being proved wrong. Just as long as it's not figjam or Woods.
I think Mickelson would put more pressure on Spieth than Rose will. All week Rose has started slowly and bogeyed a couple of the first holes, whereas Phil seems to be able to birdie or par them. I'm a great fan of Rose & would love to see him overhaul Spieth but I'm afraid he's no Faldo
Have followed his career since that shot he did at the Open as an Amateur, seemed a slow started in the pro tour but has really shot up in recent times to become one of the best golfers in the world and deservedly so.
Appreciate he is a ledge, but it does get a bit tiresome having so much tv time spent blowing smoke up Jack Nicholas' arse every single year...
The Golden Bear deserves all the air time he gets and as much smoke as there is in a northern industrial town blown up his dignified backside. As a kid in 70's golf got on my nerves as the Open used to interrupt Test cricket on the BBC and it always seemed to be Nicklaus on screen. However I now appreciate him and have fond memories of watching him win the 86 Masters. He is up there with Bradman, Laver, Ali and Pele as the true sporting icons of the 20th century. Jack Nicklaus is the greatest golfer in the history of the sport and people should appreciate that; even those not old enough to have ever seen him play. You will not see his like again. He won 18 majors and was runner up in NINETEEN! A better record than Red Rum!

Indeed, it's a privilege to hear him speak. I always enjoy the Memorial when he gets in the commentary booth. As well as his professional accomplishments he's done a hell of a lot for the game - the reason the Ryder Cup is USA v Europe is him, the reason under par is 'red numbers' is due to him, his advances in course design, etc. He is also a man of great ethics on and off the course (think of the Jacklin Ryder Cup concession), a true family person and a role model that Tiger Woods can only dream of being.

Loved Justin's bunker birdie.
Should give me something to watch out for tonight although his air time is shit.
Back Mickleton at 50/1 Friday night when he was 2under

Spieth can only beat himself now.
