Jordan Spieth will win more majors because of how he lost this one

There can hardly have been a more talked-about sportsperson in the world the past couple of days than Jordan Spieth.

Considering it’s a weekend that saw Leicester City take another giant step to pulling off the most improbable and romantic achievement we can recall in team sport; Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors move just one game away from breaking the greatest regular-season record set by a Chicago Bulls team featuring the same Michael Jordan whom Spieth’s parents named their son after; and a fella called Danny Willett actually end up up winning the Masters, it’s quite the achievement, albeit a dubious one, on the part of a 22-year-old who – lest we forget – a year ago few of us had ever heard of.

Instead of asking “Will they do it?” and “How did he do it?”, all we could ask each other at the water cooler yesterday was “How did he blow it?”
