He made a bad shot off the tee, followed by a poor decision top drop along the line rather than the drop zone, that led to an indecisive shot. That second ball in the water led to a "just get it over the water" mindset that put it in the bunker.
As far as handling losing/poor shots immaturely, I predict his total fines for on mic/camera behavior to be approximately $0.00.
Just because he isn't fined, doesn't mean it doesn't look bad.
If he could've managed that put on 16 I think he may have forced a playoff. No quit in this kid. Plus a genuine class act. He'll put it behind him and move on. All great champions have scars.
Lemme know when his caddie accosts someone, he takes to Twitter to get someone fired, or does anything that gets him named in the same conversation at John Daly or Stuart Appleby.
I simply said that I don't agree with some of his reactions after shots. I'm sorry, but think you're reading more into my comment than what I was trying to imply.
Just listened to the interview again "Buddy I think we are collapsing" his words to Michael. He knows he collapsed. It is what it is. They will report it and run it in tone ground. Bottom line for me is Jordan is handling it like he does everything with class and maturity well beyond his 22 years.
I'll grant you the obnoxious but I disagree completely that it's unfair. He had what, a 5 shots lead heading to number 10. Bogey, bogey, quadruple on a par 3 with two in the water is the absolute definition of meltdown / choke. This was up there with the all time golf chokes, very Jean Van De Velda-esque.
They are telling the story in front of them, just like when they praised him endlessly (rightfully so) when he was playing so magnificently last year. IMHO it is easy / in the moment journalism.
