Jordan Spieth to his caddy: ‘Buddy, it seems like we’re collapsing’

No fault of Danny Willett’s, of course. The Englishman had simply taken advantage of Spieth’s calamitous errors at the 12th hole on Sunday, where a quadruple-bogey seven cost him the lead and the chance to join Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo, and Tiger Woods as the only men to retain the Masters title.
