I really don't care what Jordan Spieth does over the next 36 holes. Whether he makes history as the youngest Masters winner or shoots 80-80 and finishes behind
I don't care because Jordan Spieth has already exceeded everything we've asked from him as golf's next great American golfer -- he has gotten himself into contention at one of the majors in 2014.
He's 20 years old.
On Friday evening on ESPN's post-round show Scott Van Pelt said he was buying all of the stock in Jordan Spieth which is unfortunate for Scott Van Pelt because I already have it.
I bought it last year at some point between him getting his tour card and getting onto the Presidents Cup team for the US.
No, the most refreshing thing about Jordan Spieth is that at 20 years of age he's already a professional. He has already reached the level of professionalism of the man he'll be paired with on Saturday afternoon, Adam Scott.
And the best thing about talented professionals is that they win major championships. Lots of them. Because it takes a professional to handle the rigors the 2014 pro golfing superstar must endure. See: McIlroy, Rory.
I don't mean that Spieth is a professional in the same way Kevin Stadler is a professional -- that he gets paid to play a sport. I mean he's a professional. He carries himself like he's nearing his 40s, not entering his 20s.
He's the anti-Patrick Reed in that way.
