Spieth: This one will hurt

Tuesday, April 12 2016 by SNTV
  • Jordan Spieth reacts to his runner up finish at the 2016 Masters tournament.

    SOUNDBITE (English): Jordan Spieth

    "I went bogey, bogey, quad. I went 5, 5, 7. It was a dream come true front nine. And I knew par was good enough and maybe that was what hurt me, just wasn't quite aggressive at the ball with my 3‑wood; 6‑iron on 10. And then the drive on 11. Just a lapse of concentration on 12 and it cost me."

    SOUNDBITE (English): Jordan Spieth (on the difficulty of participating in the green jacket ceremony)

    "As you can imagine, I can't think of anybody else who may have had a tougher ceremony to experience. Obviously happy for Danny. More important than golf, he's had a lot of really cool things happened in his life. Like he said, maybe fate had it this time for him. I certainly wanted to control fate, myself.
    But it was very tough given that it's so soon after the finish and it was tough but I thought that he handled it with extreme class. And I felt that I stood up there and smiled like I should, and appreciated everybody who makes this great tournament possible."

    SOUNDBITE (English): Jordan Spieth

    "I can't imagine that was fun for anyone to experience, other than maybe Danny's team. And those who are fans of him. At one point I told Mike, I said, buddy, it seems like we're collapsing. And I wanted to be brutally honest with the way I felt towards him, so that he could respond with what was necessary to get us to rebound. And we did. I rebounded. I hit a great drive, I hit a good 7‑iron, got a tough break. I made two birdies coming in and almost made a couple more. But, boy, you wonder about not only just the tee shot on 12, but why can't you just control the second shot, you know, and make 5 at worse, and you're still tied for the lead. Big picture, this one will hurt. It will take a while."
