Jordan Spieth finished The Masters on Sunday in fine style, carding a round of four-under-par 68.
Spieth has been extremely inconsistent this week at The Masters but he ended the week at Augusta National on a high.
The 32-year-old from Dallas, Texas, has endured real struggles over the past few years and is without a win since April 2022.
Many fancied Spieth to rediscover his magic at Augusta National this week but he never got into contention to win The Masters.
Spieth struggled badly with his putting at The Masters once again and unless he improves on the greens, he will find it very difficult to return to the winners’ circle.
At least he finished the tournament well, though. A 68 in challenging conditions is nothing to be sniffed at.
Jordan Spieth comments on Augusta National setup on day four of The Masters
Spieth spoke to reporters after his final round at Augusta on Sunday.
He responded when asked how he felt about the course setup on day four of The Masters.
“Yeah, it was, you know,“ Spieth said.
“I feel like the holes that the greens need to be softer are softer, and then it was let go on the others kind of like Thursday.
“But you can’t have it like Thursday with where the pins are on six downwind and stuff like that. So they have it at a playable spot, but you have differences in how firm some of the greens are compared to others, and you just trust that they know what they’re doing, which it’s easier to trust here than anywhere else.
“It was swirling a bit (the wind). So, yeah, I mean, I’m always somebody that likes a constant 10 to 15 because I just grew up with that.
“When it’s moving all over that’s the tricky part for me. It was — it should kind of stay where it’s at now. The thing is when you get on the back nine it gets down in the hills and trees and it’ll just be ten miles in your face when it’s actually down off the left and you just have to sit there and believe it.
“It’s just a really hard thing to do on the holes around Amen Corner because of all the trouble around.“
What Jordan Spieth wants to work on after The Masters
Spieth was asked by reporters if there is any specific part of his game that he wants to work on ahead of next week at Hilton Head.
“Yeah, just back to putting,“ he said.
“I was on a really good putting stretch from the west coast through the first couple Florida events, and then last two weeks probably couple of my worst putting results that I’ve ever had.
“And the stroke, my stroke felt clean minus a couple of them, better than bad putting times. It just last week I got a little off in the first round and the hole just looked small, and I’ve tried to make it look bigger every day since.
“Just didn’t get there. So I’m going to spend a lot of time putting next week and probably putting from shorter range just to see a lot of putts go in and believe the hole is bigger than the ball.“
Spieth clearly wasn’t at his absolute best at The Masters, but the good thing is that he is managing to remain positive about his game.
