It looked like Jordan Spieth was on cruise control at The Masters, but things took a disastrous turn for the leader in the clubhouse on Sunday. We have all had a bad day, but Spieth has picked a pretty bad time to run into a wall on the course at Augusta.
Spieth had a quadruple bogey on the 12th hole, and that came after picking up bogeys on holes 10 and 11. That dropped Spieth out of the lead to three back of Danny Willett as the action was still unfolding. Spieth had been leading the pack by five strokes after nine holes.

The sports Twitter world was feeling his pain…
Covering my eyes. #Spieth

The 12th hole is 155 yards. Jordan Spieth just played it in seven strokes.

Of course, no moment of infamy is complete without the necessary Crying Jordan treatment. This one was just too easy…
Do crying Jordan memes work for Jordan Spieth too?

The pressure may have been mounting on Spieth. After all, he was trying to avoid this from the beginning…
