Jordan Spieth still gets questions about the 2016 Masters, although the queries have quieted down a bit in the last two years. But as he gets set to renew his pursuit of a second green jacket, the 2015 champ would like to make one thing clear about the title defense that almost was.
"I didn't choke," Spieth said in a recent No Laying Up podcast.
Spieth held a five-shot lead with nine holes to play in 2016, only to endure an hour of play he'd dearly like to have back. Bogeys on Nos. 10 and 11 were followed by a disastrous quadruple bogey on the 12th, where he put two balls in the water.
