A little more than a month later at Colonial Country Club, Spieth was spectacular in all the right ways, closing out a pair of weekend 65s with three straight birdies on Sunday that included a 20-foot putt on 16, a 43-foot chip-in (after his ball had bounced off the face of the grandstand on 17) and a 34-foot tracker for good measure on 18. After playing his first nine holes of the final round in even par, Spieth made six birdies and took just nine putts over his last nine to coast to a three-stroke win.
Ranking The Players field: How does Tiger stack up against world's best?
The 144-man field is set to compete for the The Players Championship at the famous TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla . The 7,189-yard par 72 is the home of the iconic island green on No. 17, and is a course that will test a golfer's skill, patience, and mental toughness.Here, we rank the field's top-10 players.10. Dustin JohnsonDespite his immense amount of talent, Johnson's success at TPC Sawgrass is relatively poor. He finished tied for 12th last year, his career-best result. The course will force Johnson to limit the use of his biggest weapon, his driver.9. Justin RoseThe opportunity to climb to No.
On Tuesday, Spieth made his first media appearance since he fell apart on the back-9 of Augusta National on Sunday at the Masters. He sounded positive and motivated, ready to get back on the golf course and move on from last month's collapse. Spieth has clearly put the heartbreaking moment in
С английским не дружу. Choose the right tense form to make the sentences complete (Present Simple, Present Continuous, Future Simple, Future Continuous, Past Simple, Past Continuous, Present Perfect, Past Perfect, Present Perfect Continuous) I can 't come to the phone now. I (to have) a bath.
“I think the golf gods are certainly on our side,” Spieth said that afternoon. “I caught some breaks today.”
Without a victory since last July’s triumph at the Open Championship at Birkdale, the 24-year-old Spieth could use a few more these days. Or he could at least do with making a few more putts. It’s not just that he’s winless in the 10 months, but how that’s come to be.
RELATED: Why Jordan Spieth is a good fantasy play this week at the Fort Worth Invitational
Spieth enters this week’s Fort Worth Invitational ranked 190th on the PGA Tour in strokes gained/putting, losing an average of .471 strokes per round to the field on the green this season. Two years ago, he was second in the category, picking up an average of .758 per round. You don’t need to be a math whiz to figure out this one.
Peyton Manning will play with Tiger during pro-am
Two of the biggest names in sports will converge for the pro-am at The Memorial Tournament.Two of the biggest names in sports will converge for the pro-am at The Memorial Tournament, as Tiger Woods will be joined by NFL legend Peyton Manning.
One of his favourite methods was to make us construct sentences out of our own heads to illustrate the rules he was trying to teach us. The conductor, with his black uniform and shiny hat, the twinkling signals that told the engineer when to stop and go, thrilled me.
He put the autographbook in his pocket and hurried up the steps. How did it seem to go to bed a teller' at the Gas Company and to wake up the husband of a best-selling novelist? Then he put the book in his lap and left the manuscript on the table and began to read them, page against page.
“Each day it’s getting a little more comfortable,” Spieth said Wednesday at Colonial of his putting stroke. “I believe that they’ll fall soon enough.”
Soon can’t come fast enough.
At last week’s AT&T Byron Nelson, Spieth missed a putt from one foot. There were other cringe-worthy moments, too, for a player who many profess to be one of the best putters in the game. Spieth missed three more putts inside five feet and ended the week with 129 total putts, taking no fewer than 31 in any one round. Spieth ranked 72nd of the 75 players who made the cut in total putts, which stood out even more when considering that he ranked fourth in approach shots.
It’s not only the totality of the numbers that seems so surprising. It’s where the misses are coming from.
Inside 10 feet, Spieth ranks 175th on tour, making a little more than 85 percent of putts from that range. He hasn’t been very good from longer distances, either, ranking 180th between 10 and 15 feet and 199th from 15 to 20.
Rookie Aaron Wise joins Leishman atop Nelson leaderboard

His wife was frank as the day, a splendid housekeeper, a very good mother to their two children. He knew that Dicky Soames had been fond of Adela and the fact that Dicky Soames had years back gone away to join his and Adela's uncle made no difference to him.
Two years ago, Spieth was 50th inside 10 feet, making 88.27 percent of his putts from that range. He was even better from 10-15 and 15-20 feet, ranking 16th and second, respectively. The latter are game changers, and the lack of putts dropping from those distances of late is what’s separated Spieth from his peers—in all the wrong ways.
It’s also what has perturbed Spieth the most.
“Making putts,” he said when asked what will give him the confidence with the flat stick. “I mean, especially from the 10- to 20-foot range, kind of my go-to range, one that I’ve historically been really good at and just haven’t quite gotten them to fall. I would like to get in a nice little groove, get some momentum, have the hole look a little bit bigger this week.”
With the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills just a few weeks away, now would be as good a time as any.
“I may hit just as good of a putt two holes in a row, one goes in, one doesn’t,” Spieth said. “That one that goes in feels a lot better.”

Scott Disick Has 'Come to Terms' with the Fact That Kourtney Kardashian Has Moved on: Source
Scott Disick is no longer “hung up” on his ex Kourtney Kardashian. After officially calling it quits in 2015, both Disick and Kardashian have moved on from their nine-year relationship. Disick is dating 19-year-old Sofia Richie while Kardashian is with Younes Bendjima. And a source tells PEOPLE that the parents of three are finally in a “good place.” “Scott and Kourtney are on better terms,” the source says. “He was hung up on Kourtney forever and really wanted to make that relationship work, but he’s finally come to terms with the fact that she’s moved on.” Disick and Kardashian share sons Mason, 8, Reign, 3, and daughter Penelope, 5. Along with improving his relationship with his ex, the source says Disick has also slowed down his hard-partying ways. “He’s not partying like he was just a year ago and seems to be in a healthier place mentally and physically,” the source adds. “Everyone in the family is really happy with how he’s doing lately.” Disick was most recently seen celebrating his 35th birthday with Richie in St. Barts with his kids. The couple has been officially dating since last September after initially sparking romance rumors a year ago. “Scott and Sofia have a super solid relationship and seem really happy together,” the source says. In recent months, the relationship appears to have gotten increasingly serious, with Richie spending plenty of time with Disick and Kardashian’s children. A source previously told PEOPLE Kardashian “trusts” Richie with the kids. “The kids are allowed to spend time with her,” the source said. “Sofia likes having them and helps Scott. So far, the kids are giving Kourtney good reports about Sofia.
