Departing greens master Crenshaw sees himself in Jordan Spieth

Few people have putted those Daliesque greens better than Ben Crenshaw, the two-time Masters champion who bade an emotional farewell into Augusta National last Friday.

The Texan gushed about Jordan Spieth before he donned the green jacket and he could see something of himself in the 21-year old long before the youngest Masters champion since Tiger Woods in 1997.

“When I first met him, I tell you I’ll never forget it,” Crenshaw said before the event started. “I looked right at him, and he looked at me, and I thought I was looking at Wyatt Earp. He looks at you and he’s going to gun you down. I’m amazed at Jordan. He plays it like he’s been here forever.”
