Spieth's Secret

[mosesgolf]

No secret other than being the best putter on planet earth. Jordan drains putts like Tiger, Jack, Arnold et al used to. He's been making so many clutch putts at the right time since the end of last year with his win at the Australian Open. He made a ton of putts at Augusta, that putt he made on the 16th at Chamber's Bay was unreal, and that putt he made on the 16th at St. Andrews to get him into a tie was insane. Jordan's secret? It's the putter. Plus his wedge game is probably top 5 in the world. Oh his short game is pretty good too. His iron game is also pretty good as well. Oh well he's the whole package.

[quote name='TitleistDave2' timestamp='1437115953' post='11964730']Everyone is overcomplicating this. He's the best putter in the world. Mid range putts win tournaments and he's #1 in that category. When Tiger was dominant, he was the best putter in the world. When Rory won 4 majors and took over #1 in the world his putter was on fire. Jordan Spieth will keep winning tournaments / majors as long as the putter stays hot. If the putter ever goes cold it could get ugly for a guy that averages 280 off the tee. He needs to spend less time in the weight room and more time on the putting green. Don't make the same mistakes as Tiger and Rory.[/quote]

It looks to me as his driver swing is radically different than his iron swing, more so than others even in this era.

I wonder if it is because he is not worried about distance or already trying to push it little harder?

I remember years ago Tiger got real mad when Lefty started being significantly longer... then he started swinging out of his shoes and pilling up the injuries. In reality, all he had to do for an ego check was point to his Majors total to Phil's.

Your right, the driver never won anyone a major (but it sure lost quite a few).
[/quote]I disagree slightly. Driver won at Hoylake for Rory last year. Straight and 20 yards further than DJ every drive. Only Norman in his pomp(or Jack) came close to those 4 days of laser straight bombs.
