Holly G and Rich B are in the studio on Monday evening for a SPECIAL Masters wrap up show, sponsored by SuperStroke, talking about Jordan Spieth amazing win at Augusta. Spieth plays SuperStroke's Flatso 1.0 and has since 2013.

Spieth went wire-to-wire with a record shattering performance at Augusta to win his first Major Championship at the age of 21 years old. In the process several former major champions were hot on his heels. Rich talks about the Masters.org live stream which was outstanding. Rich was watching Amen Corner.

Shout out to The Golf Channel for their amazing coverage including Todd Lewis' interview with Spieth after the win.

Holly reads what Jack Nicklaus said about Spieth.  Rich points out that Spieth got on the tour with a sponsor's exemption in 2013 and won the John Deere Classic and earned his way on tour and is now the second ranked player in the Official World Golf Rankings. 

Brian Hewitt, former editor of the Global Golf Post, calls in to talk to Holly and Rich about the Masters. "One thing we tend to do is canonize whoever won on Sunday, a short memory thing. What we saw yesterday was special and it was an arrival

You have two guys, one 25 and one 21 poised to take the game forward.  Brian says that the game of golf hasn't had anything like this for a turning point since Tiger won in 1997. He says it is so refreshing how both Rory McIlroy and Spieth are candid with everyone.

Brian shared that when Spieth was asked how is he able to stay humble ... "For me to sit here and talk about how I am able to stay humble would not be humble," Spieth said. 

Rich feels that the hardest thing for Spieth will be on the first tee next year when he tees it up and thinks about trying to match his 18-under-par.

Two guys finished at 14 under and Rory at 12 under and those numbers would might have won about 90% of Masters in the past. Holly talked about how Spieth has learned from his second place finish at Augusta last year and how he has become a student of the game and prepared himself to win.

The trio talk about how throughout the tournament Spieth made the putts he needed to make time and time again. 

Who does Jordan Spieth remind you of... not one golfer but a hybrid of a couple.

Holly and Rich B talk about SuperStroke grips and the history of them and how easy it is to get one for your putters.

Jeff Shain, PGATour.com, calls in from the road to talk to Holly and Rich about the Masters and Sunday's amazing display by Spieth. He never let anyone breathe down his neck. Every time someone got to within 3 strokes, Spieth put the hammer down. Jeff feels that he and Rory could be a formidable rivalry for years and years to come.

Holly asks Jeff what it will take Spieth to get to #1 in the OWGR. If Spieth continues to play like he plays well in the next few tournaments, it might not take him long.

Holly asks Jeff who his pick is for the upcoming RBC Heritage. Jeff feels that Luke Donald has five top 3 finishes in the past six tournaments, so this could be the week to win it. Click here for Jeff Shain's first look at the RBC.

Jeff Babineau, Golfweek, calls in to wrap up the hour of intelligent golf talk. Babineau says that Spieth is so polished at 21 that you forget that he is that young.  "I love his heart, and love the way he scores. He's a great champion," Babineau said.

Holly discusses with Jeff Babineau about the fact that Spieth didn't let his foot off the gas. Jeff says that his choice to do that paid off. Others in the past have let the foot off the gas and it has come back to bite them.

Rich feels that Rory might find this first major to be his Achilles heel since its the first major of the year. Babineau wrote an article about just that for Golfweek's back page.

Holly and Babineau talk about all the other golfers who have played several times in the past and are still trying to figure out the puzzle that is Augusta.
