Did anyone else watch this today? A truly remarkable finish by Spieth when it looked like he was about to give another major away. 5 under in 4 holes, 14-17, to win. One for the ages.

Historic and clutch performance, to be sure. One of 8 golfers to ever win a Masters, US and British Open. On his way to being an all-time great!

He was only one shot down, I wouldn't rank it with some of the incredible Sunday back 9 comebacks I have seen like Nicklaus at the 86 Masters for example and I am sure there are many more just not recalling them at this moment.

Yes it certainly wasn't the greatest comeback in the history of golf. But given the context of what happened in the Masters and losing a 3 shot lead made it very impressive, to me. 13 could have been much worse, but a bogey was salvaged. Then birdie, birdie, eagle, birdie.

That 4 hole stretch to win a major is the stuff legends are made of.

Yeah it was a great performance, not suggesting otherwise. And yeah sometimes saving bogey is just as important as that birdie putt.

Arnie was 7 shots back at the start of the final round of the 1960 US Open lol. Insane.
