I would love to see Spieth start winning again consistently, because he's such a great young man, but it seems like he depends too much on those long, almost impossible putts (and amazing greenside hole-outs). I'm not sure where he currently stands in the rankings between 10 and 20 foot putts made, but it seems like he misses an awful lot of them. He either needs to start hitting it a lot closer to the hole, or make a higher percentage of those putts within 20'. The thought comes to mind that "he who lives by the seemingly impossible putts, dies by the same." Then again, I'm watching it taped right now (Spieth is on 6) so maybe he's already started doing so.
