Wheels are off a bit for young Rors, dropped back to -1 8 off the lead and not much of a route back from there, he had been back up to -4 earlier

Another major goes by for Rory.

McGinley wondering is Spieths 8 shot lead insurmountable for Rory, Jesus what nonsense

Speith is a machine.
No one better than him when he is in form.

He's very young if he can maintain that consistency he could become an all time great!

I hope he keeps it going tomorrow to banish the demons of Augusta!

People thought he would get left behind by McIlroy, Day, Johnson etc as he doesent have their power

If the wind does blow tomorrow it could be brilliant! Another day like Friday would be superb watching for a final round hopefully with Spieth dropping a few and making it interesting for everyone else!

Can't see anyone else involved outside of the final pairing, maybe Koepka if he goes very low

He is just top ten in every category, or usually is, McIlroy as good as he is sometimes finds himself top ten in driving accuracy, sand saves etc but when it comes to putting he drifts in and out of the top fifty and higher, Spieth does not do that, his consistency in stats are remarkable and he has no real weaknesses to speak of, that is what makes him great.

A load of shite stew, Spieth drifts in an out of form like the rest of them, he was 146th in greens in regulation last season for instance. There are currently 4  golfers Spieth, McIlroy, Johnson and Day who are capable of operating on a different level than the rest of the field when they're on fire trying to paint one as great is  a pointless exercise.

For whatever reason though their 'A' games haven't collided yet its going to be a hell of a tournament when 2 or 3 of them go down the back 9 in a shootout. It could happen in the USPGA maybe....

Wee Rory pulling back speith holding strong, not enough runway, would need the wheels to come off

On the way both are playing after 11 you would have to fancy Kuchar but Spieths class will probably tell at some stage..
