Well done Jordan Spieth, golf’s newest superstar who owned the Masters all week.
It’s been a parade of new records from the 21-year-old, from the lowest 36 and 54-hole totals, to the most birdies over the course of the tournament, the the first player ever in the Masters to reach 19 under par on his way to what looked an inevitable win. And everyone’s very happy for him…
Well, sort of. You see the thing is, watching the Sunday of the Masters is one of the highlights of the sporting year for many people, and Spieth’s kind of ruined it. He’s just been too good.
This would be great without Jordan Spieth. Spoilsport!

See? Even Gary Lineker thinks so, and he’s the Queen Mother Of Football.
And lots of other watching golf fans were having similar thoughts.
Most boring final round ever #Masters get the shanks spieth

Spieth deserves the win but he's ruined Masters Sunday ⛳😫 #noconest

I don't care if Spieth is the next Tiger or not. This is boring.

As much as I love to watch the drama of the last day of the masters I feel this is all becoming an anti climax, come on Rose 1 last big push

Makes it a dull end to the tournament – but what a performance by Spieth – ran away with it from Day 1 #Masters

Jordan Spieth has ruined this Masters but he has been so so impressive

What boring masters this year. I'm watching Netflix. Somebody tweet me if Spieth falls apart of Tiger's hand falls off

Spieth has singlehandedly ruined this years Masters, It's better when it's tight!!

Spieth has basically ruined watching the masters by dominating Anyone else hoping for a collapse?

AFC/NFC championship game Sunday aside, Masters Sunday is usually my favourite Sunday of the year.Thanks for making it so dull Jordan Spieth

This is a great performance by #Spieth but I'm about to turn it off #boring #masters2015

It was so boring that people’s minds started to wander and they thought about other things. Like what the caddies were wearing.
Those caddy uniforms must be awfully hot. #Masters2015.
— Jackie Quinn (@jackiequinn) April 12, 2015
The caddies have the same overalls criminals in heist movies wear when disguised as decorators. #masters2015

Or what music was being played on the TV coverage.
Just clocked that BBC are using Avril Lavigne- I'm with you for the golf when they analyse the scorecard. Random choice? #masters2015
— Chris Stark (@Chris_Stark) April 12, 2015
Why is Avril Lavigne's "I'm With You" the instrumental music for BBC's Masters coverage?

Or…this.
If a Batman villain played golf, he'd want Ian Poulter's shoes. #masters2015 pic.twitter.com/X9FQx79CMv

Carping about minor tedium aside though, people were mostly pretty impressed with what Spieth was doing.
Hard to believe Spieth is only 21. So much maturity and assuredness. Under a lot of pressure here and dealing with it brilliantly so far
— Oliver Holt (@OllieHolt22) April 12, 2015
Jordan Spieth is really doing something special right now ⛳ï¸
— Kaliforna Kalmadge (@aaronkal2) April 12, 2015
Spieth putts with the touch of a Jewel thief….
— Steve Elkington (@elkpga) April 12, 2015
Spieth. Ice cool. I love it when young, outrageous talent that we suspected was special, announces itself to the world in a big, big way.
— Jake Humphrey (@mrjakehumphrey) April 12, 2015
Spieth playing like he's having a knock around with mates. Seems completely unfazed by the pressure. Incredible for a 21 year old
— James Ducker (@DuckerTheTimes) April 12, 2015
At this point I think I would watch Spieth play single player video games.

Well, that’s pretty much what we’ve all been doing all weekend. Well player, Mr Spieth.
