Undone by the water

He was leading by five strokes at the turn but was undone by the water at the par three twelve on the home stretch. He hit the water twice, giving up four strokes in the process. He fought back courageously with two birdies in the next three holes but in the end, it was too much, even for him. He had to give up the title. That's the story of Jordan Spieth in the 2016 US masters. Leading from the first day and looked poised to retain the title going down the final stretch, he failed when it matters. I felt sorry for him but when you are playing against the best, one bad hole is enough to let somebody else sneak through. That person was Danny Willet.
