See how PGA Tour pros reacted to Jordan Spieth’s win at Colonial
Yesterday, Jordan Spieth torched Colonial’s back-nine to the tune of a five-under 30 that included three consecutive birdies to close things out, earning him a three-stroke victory over Harris English.
The win, Spieth’s eighth, and one which he predicted will stand as one of the most important of his career, was well-received among his fellow pros. Many of the 22-year-old Texan’s contemporaries to Twitter to voice congratulations and wonder at Spieth’s scintillating closing stretch.
Here’s a sampling.
Webb Simpson
What a clinic by @JordanSpieth on the back 9. Made EVERYTHING. It was like the Michael Jordan shrug game. Congrats to he & @michael_greller!

@SmylieKaufman10 @JordanSpieth check his shoes, he might be able to walk on water

Smylie Kaufman
Unreal finish by @JordanSpieth! Congrats ????????????????????????

Ryan Palmer (in a press conference)
Q. Can you put into words what went on out there?
RYAN PALMER: Oh, man. A lot of putts. Watching that, you see where he’s at and what he’s done. It was fun to be in that atmosphere, in that arena, watching the chips he made, the putts he made. You know, I was proud of the way I handled myself inside there. I was calm all day, relaxed, and a little tentative putting. If I could have made half my putts up there today, I could have been up there with him close. It’s something to build off for sure, but man, that was fun to watch him.
Q. What does it say about Jordan that he was able to close the way he did?
RYAN PALMER: Just, I mean, he’s young, he’s fearless, but that confidence he’s got is high. You can tell with his putter, it just takes one putt to go in, and that hole has got to feel like a bucket to him. You can tell how they’re pouring in. It’s fun to watch. It tells me what I need to work on for sure and where I can get better, and hopefully we’ll have another chance and we can do it again.

What GolfWRXers are saying about Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons
In our forums, our members have been discussing Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons which he has in the bag at this week’s CJ Cup. WRXers have been commenting on the switch and the clubs themselves in our forums.
For lots more photos, check out the full thread here.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- btyh: “Holy offset.”
- Glf_LU: “These are interesting. Not going to make a rush to judgement until I see them in person. It does look like a little more offset than I would expect to see in this model.”
- bcflyguy1: “Kisner is not one to make a lot of equipment changes (see the GBB driver he’s still using), so if these do have staying power in his bag that will be interesting to see. I have to wonder if there’s something different about his set, because like others have mentioned there appears to be more offset on his than I recall seeing in the samples I’ve had in hand.”

WATCH: PGA Tour players play hole blindfolded and it’s hilarious/amazing
As part of a Srixon campaign, four PGA Tour players recently participated in a three-hole challenge, with each hole being a different game; hole No. 1 was blindfolded, hole No. 2 was costumes and distractions, and hole No. 3 was alternate shot with a baseball bat. The teams were Smylie Kaufman and Sam Ryder against Shane Lowry and Grayson Murray.
Watch the full video below, since it is quite entertaining (albeit not the type of golf that Old Tom Morris surely had in mind), but in particular, make sure to check out the first hole where Lowry and Ryder play a full hole completely blind folded. It’s amazing to watch how badly Ryder struggles, and how Lowry nearly makes par.
What happens when 4 #PGATOUR pros take a day off?
Luckily, the cameras were rolling.

Cleveland-Srixon’s marketing department has been hard at work crafting these viral-esque ad campaigns; if you remember, former long-drive champion Jamie Sadlowski recently dressed as 80-year-old Grandpa Jamie to fool range-goers. That video has since gathered over 1.2 million views on YouTube.

I’ve played a LOT of competitive golf at a high level and it’s not luck. It’s hell to run up against guys that can do something better than everybody else. You try to convince yourself that they are lucky when the truth is they are just really really good at whatever it is they do. Speith is the best putter in the world, it’s as simple as that.

If you think there’s no luck in 9 putts in 9 holes on the back nine on Sunday, you’re an idiot. If it’s not luck, it would happen way more often.

It would be luck if some 24 handicap hacker did something like that. For a top PGA Tour player, it’s way more about actual skill.

What a lucky break to get that session with Bill Murray – really brought Spieth to a different level :o)
