PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- Jordan Spieth had just completed the longest 11 minutes of his career.
It began with him standing on the tee box of the iconic par-3 12th hole at Augusta National Golf Club and leading the Masters Tournament by a stroke, down from a 5-shot differential just a half-hour earlier. His first swing resulted in his ball splashing into Rae's Creek, which borders the grassy slope guarding the front of the green. The next one, from the drop zone, found the same demise.
By the time he trudged toward the 13th tee, Spieth had an unseemly quadruple-bogey on his scorecard.
