Well, he is officially  a badass...

Porter's five 2015 Masters takeaways

Yep.  Great summation.  And the stage should stay the same for the next few months.  I'm not really sure about the Chambers Bay (Washington) location for the US Open, nor how it'll be groomed.  Spieth should revert back to his come from behind mode.  It's better when somebody else sets the pace.

Spieth is a class act.  It is wonderful to see a high profile young man today who is such a positive role model.

...... especially after the high profile character flaws of Tiger which went on and on...

Spieth seems to be more in the style of Palmer and Nicholas.... genteel and classy.

I enjoyed watching the Masters..... always exciting.

His maturity is amazing. It is clear he was given good leadership at home. Did any one else notice his dad suggested he go back onto the 18th green and thank the patrons? I read today he will likely make $25M this year and that does not surprise me. Sponsors will try to lock him up for a long time. Let's just hope all that does not go to his head and he gets snakes up there.

I did not notice his Dad coaching him to go back onto the green to thank the patrons.  If so, it explains why this young man has such outstanding character traits.  He has been well trained.

He doesn't live that far from me.  He and his fiance' girlfriend have bought a new $2.2M house on half an acre in the high rent district of North Dallas.  I am NOT in the high rent district!      But not far away.

Half acre, in Texas of all places, for 2.2 million? Come on, if I had that much to burn on a place, it would be the obverse, 2.2 million acres with a half acre house set in the middle.
Who wants neighbors?

Spieth should revert back to his come from behind mode.  It's better when somebody else sets the pace.

Which is what he's doing this weekend at the Harbortown Links, on Hilton Head.  -Shot a lethargic 3-over yesterday, then shot an incredible 9-under today.

Except Troy Merritt tied a course-record 10-under, leading Spieth by 6. 

Let the bunny set the pace, then come back and nip it at the wire.
