Rory-Jordan Masters lovefest shows sadly there isn

AUGUSTA, Ga.  If theres anything Id change about the new Big Three, or Big Four, or Big Five or whatever the number is in this age of parity in golf, its that theyre all just too nice.Jason Day, Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler, Rory McIlroy, Adam Scott  all very nice, polite, respectful guys.MORE: | But what makes WWE succe sful? Or even NASCAR? They work because there are foils; there are heels.Not everyone can be a good guy.What golf is crying out for is a bit of what we call in Australia mongrel. A mongrels a dog of uncertain and mixed origins; a mutt whos just plain mean.MORE:|Patrick Robert Quinn Jersey  Reed, now that guys got some mongrel in him, but hes not good enough to be flying at this altitude this weekend at the Masters.Bubba Watsons a prickly character, but hes barely made the cut and wont factor on Sunday at Augusta National.Vijay Singh, well, he  Mark Barron Jersey could pi s people off  especially Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods  but his time has pa sed.Tiger himself was always good for a staredown on weekends at majors, but hes not here and who knows if he will ever be again?What we have now is a weekend pairing at the years first major thats exciting enough  Rory vs. Jordan in the final group here Saturday  but one that would be spicier if they just werent so friendly.MORE: Both went out of their way Friday to avoid saying anything remotely impolite about the other.He's a friend, Spieth said of McIlroy.I certainly have idolized his game coming up, and have really enjoyed battling out different tournaments.So yeah, I have the utmost respect for his game. I think he's a great guy, too.I think its going to be fun, a really fun challenge, he added.Yawn.Spieth played down the rivalry more by saying his mi steps after getting to 8 under par and has opened the door to the rest of the field.There's the potential tomorrow for someone  Cooper Kupp Jersey to shoot a few under and move up into the lead from outside the top 25, he said. I mean, there's a potential for that with what I saw on the last six holes today, the way the course was playing. So I don't think either one of us is focused on each other. I think we're focused on the golf course.McIlroy, for his part, said the duos first weekend pairing at a major was a bigger story for the media than it was for either of them.It would add a lot of excitement and buzz and atmosphere to the tournament obviously  but Ive been concentrating on myself out there, he said. If you start to think about anyone else  Ive only got the mental capacity to focus on me right now and especially how tough it is out there.He did, however, take a gentle, Tiger-like dig at Spieth letting everyone back into the tournament after holding a five shot lead midway through Friday afternoon.I think at one point I was maybe seven Van Jefferson Jersey  or eight shots back of Jordan today, he said.It just shows you how quickly things can change, especially here on this golf course in these conditions.Unle s someone is playing exceptionally well and really distances themselves from the field, everything sort of evens out," he added.Jordan got off to a very fast start (Thursday). The conditions are so tough, its hard to keep that going. Youre always going to make mistakes here and there and it all evens out at the end of the week.Well, it wont all even out because at the end of Sunday there will be only one winner.And thats what might bring spice to this rivalry  as well as all the others among the Big (Insert Number)  the sting and scars and misery of defeat  Troy Hill Jersey will bring out the mongrel in someone.And I dont say that like its a bad thing.
