Avg putts per round 29.1 Spieth has had the kind of year you would have thought impossible three years ago. The only highlight was his third place at the Masters. Other than that it has been, well, consistently inconsistent. The most alarming part of Spieth’s rollercoaster year has been the disintegration of the killer putting skills that won him his three majors. His long game technique is more mercurial than ever.

Strengths His experience in high-stress situations is undeniable.

Weaknesses On current form Spieth would be a brave pick by Jim Furyk. An honest appraisal of form is required before he steps onto the first tee.
