So much whining while the dude who won it kept his mouth shut and played golf.

No disrespect to Poulter but it's not surprising he's worried about appearances instead of just manning the f.uck up and playing what you've been given.

That's the difference between him and the champion. He was letting his emotions get the best of him while Jordan was picturing the trophy.

And lets not be naive and act like golf is the first sport to hold a championship in a suspect venue. Come on now.

the thing that seemed to annoy me the most was the inches on the putts. he's got 18'3" here Jack. WTF 18 feet is close enough. To see the way some of those golf balls reacted, the course was pretty unfair. What a contrast between beautiful Puget Sound and the dreariness of the course. It's like the Kurt Cobain of courses, when it coulda been the Eddie Vedder instead

not true

http://www.sbnation.com/golf/2015/6/...-bay-18th-hole

" You know Jordan Spieth has made it into the pantheon of PGA Tour superstars when his whining about course setup forces the powers-that-be to cave into his demands.

In this case, Spieth complaining on Friday to an open Fox Sports mic for the world to hear that No. 18 as a par-4 at Chambers Bay was "the dumbest hole I’ve ever played" definitely had an impact on USGA executive director Mike Davis’ decision to play the 72nd hole of the U.S. Open as a par-5.
