Spieth ahead but not by much IMO.
Tee to green my money would be on Rory, on the greens is another story, driving for show and all that. McIlroy needs to find a way how to win ugly with patience, he lacks patience and forces it a lot.

Before we start saying Rory can't keep up with Jordan at the moment, let's just remember -
Jordan beat Rory by 7 shots in total. 6 of those were in the first 6 holes of Thursday morning. So despite Rory being as bad as he was with his wedges and being clearly out of form in recent weeks he only got beat by 1 shot for the final 65 holes!
Spieths finish was absolutely incredible and his calmness is to be applauded, but it very easily could have gone the other way for him on the 13th
imo, both at the top of their games, Rory will win 90% of the time. Problem is Rory doesn't seem to be able to find the 'top' of his game.!

People also massively under appreciating Rory's putting this week! Wouldn't suprise me if he was above Spieth in strokes gained this week.

No pressure though.

I don't disagree but Rory made some rookie howlers yesterday

Rory has missed too many fairways and greens this weekend (and throughout his struggles), a few missed putts have been over scrutinised IMO.

Tends to do this
Under the radar
Pressure off
Sneak into places, looks good on paper, much like Westwood has done many times
But never really contend
Tell me what page in the record books that'll be on? all it'll say is Champion Golfer 2017 - Jordan Spieth.

I know you are new to golf but just to give you a heads up these Professional events are over 4 rounds, that's 72 holes just in case you are confused

Rory's "A" game puts him right up there with the best
The problem is, he doesn't bring that to the table too often
When things aren't going all his way, he can't grind out a score, much like Tiger did many times.
His issue is, without his A game, he can't win ugly, and generally just shows up with his C or D game.......
Also in the past, when things weren't going his way, he couldn't be bothered and basically threw the towel in
