Masters implosion adds an asterisk to Jordan Spieth aura

It was the climax no-one saw coming, the seemingly unflappable defending champion Jordan Spieth first stumbled then self-combusted under the mental strain of expectation.

We always want to highlight those athletes who perform on or near superhuman levels and for 63 holes, that man was Jordan Spieth.

He was the most dominant player at Augusta and never was that more clearly pronounced than when he rolled in his fourth consecutive birdie putt on the ninth to establish a seemingly insurmountable five-stroke lead on the rest of the field.
