And there
we have it folks. Another epic moment in the history of sports. Sunday June 21st
2015 is a day that will be talked about for years to come. People will
remember that on Sunday at the U.S Open, at Chambers Bay, Jordan Spieth did it
again. At only 21 years of age, Spieth is half way through his career grand
slam. With a win at Augusta just a couple of months ago, and on Sunday at
Chambers Bay, Jordan is now the talk of golf. (I’d like to invest in a share of
under armor please).
Sunday turned
out to be one of the most gut wrenching and heart stopping rounds of golf I have
watched in a very long time. Not only was everyone buzzing about Spieths win,
but the buzz was also around poor Dustin Johnson. Man, you got to really feel
it for DJ right now.
It’s funny
how you can get so close, and only end up being so far away. Spieth had a 3
shot lead, and suddenly, it was gone. Everyone knew that with a performance
like the one he put on at Augusta National this year, Spieth was able to come
clutch in a pressure filled situation. He double bogeyed on the 17th
hole and his chance to win was slowly slipping away, but like I said, we are
talking about Jordan Spieth.
DJ had the
chance to take it all away from young Spieth, but with his bad luck on the
tour, it just couldn’t happen. Maybe it was the nerves, or maybe it was the
pressure, but he just didn’t have it in him. As I watched DJ take that 3-foot
putt, my heart welled to see the ball slide past the hole. But hey, I must say,
both Spieth and DJ showed the class of true gentlemen on that course, and that
is something that will be remembered forever in the hearts of true golf lovers.
So, here we
are. Another tournament over just like that, and another story to be engraved
in our minds for the rest of time. Chambers Bay brought the suspense to golf,
the blues to DJ, and the greatness to Jordan. Thank you golf Gods.
Remember
everyone, there’s a lot to come in golf with a man like Spieth on tour, and who
knows, maybe in July Jordan can make it 3 quarters of a way to his #SpiethSlam.
