CARNOUSTIE, Scotland The closing stretch at Carnoustie has famously ruined many a solid round, so Jordan Spieths misadventures on Thursday should not have been a complete surprise, but the truth is the defending champions miscues were very much self-inflicted.Spieth was cruising along at 3 under par, just two shots off the early lead, when he made a combination of errors at the par-4 15th hole. He hit the wrong club off the tee (4-iron) and the wrong club for his approach (6-iron) on his way to a double bogey-6.The problem was on the second shot, I should have hit enough club to reach the front of the green, and even if it goes 20 yards over the green, it's an easy up-and-down, Spieth said. I just had a brain fart, and I missed it into the location where the only pot bunker where I could actually get in trouble, and it plugged deep into it. It was a really, really poor decision on the second shot, and that cost me.

Spieth continued to compound his problems with a sloppy bogey at the 16th hole, and a drive that sailed left at 18 found the Barry Burn en route to a closing bogey and a 1-over 72.The miscues were more mental, a lack of execution, than they were an example of how difficult the closing stretch at Carnoustie can be, and thats not good enough for Spieth.That's what I would consider as a significant advantage for me is recognizing where the misses are, said Spieth, who was tied for 68th when he completed his round. It felt like a missed opportunity.

Alas, I feel it's too late. A collapse seems inevitable. I think that the best that can be hoped for is to have a cadre of non-idiots in place to lead man back from the abyss. Either that or cross your fingers and hope for a 100th monkey phenomenon. Of course, there is the internet, which is new.
