Jordan Proves He's Human After All

It wasn't really a shock, was it? A day of media jaunts is much harder to deal with than multiple weeks of playing golf, and it caught up with Jordan Spieth on Thursday.



The weather didn't help either. The expected nice weather turned into a cold wet windy day, which didn't make things any easier.

Of course the fans didn't really care. They didn't care that he posted a 3-over 74. They just wanted to see their Masters champion, and he honored their wishes. And he may yet catch his second wind and make the cut today.

But it does remind us all that Jordan -- like every other golfer -- is still human. When he remarked that Matt Kuchar had also played four weeks in a row and still "kicked his butt" with a 68, he clearly forgot that Matt didn't contend at the Masters nor did he spend two days in New York doing 25 interviews. That might have had an effect on Jordan's game, don't you think?

Nevertheless, I think he'll play better today... and I also see some serious bedtime coming next week. After he celebrates with little sister Ellie, that is.
