Jordan Spieth believes he has put his dramatic Masters collapse behind him, but is working hard on his swing to avoid suffering a similar fate in future pressure situations. Defending champion Spieth held a five-shot lead with nine holes to play at Augusta National in April, only to bogey the 10th and 11th and then take a quadruple-bogey seven on the 12th, where he hit two balls into the water. Sarah Stirk and Nick Dougherty preview this years Players Championship. The world No 2 has not played competitively since, but returns to action in this weeks Players Championship at Sawgrass, the so-called fifth major which also features a famous par-three - the 17th - which is surrounded by water. I said throughout the week (at Augusta) that I was not striking the ball very well, said Spieth.My miss, given where my club was positioned, was short and right and thats okay at Augusta on almost every other hole. On 12 and 13 it doesnt really work well.I was picking the right shot (on the 12th), maybe just hit it a little thin off the heel, maybe lifted up a little early. Spieth suffered a dramatic collapse at this years Masters That kind of mistake could have happened any other day, it wasnt like the moment was what caused it because Id been in that moment many times already and succeeded, and had failures. Both are going to come.It was the wrong miss so what do we do? We go to the drawing board and figure out how to get my swing to the consistent level it was at during the second half of last year. From the US Open, John Deere (Classic), Open Championship and through into the US PGA my swing was exactly where we wanted it and so weve been working hard to try to get to that position.It got off whenever and I havent really been able to trust it at that level since then. Watch the moment Jordan Spieth threw away the lead at the 12th hole during the 2016 Masters But I put in a lot of good hard work on the driving range and its there right now, its just a matter of being able to trust it on the golf course with trouble around, which may not happen right away, but its getting closer.Watch the Players Championship on Sky Sports.

When the final seconds ticked off, Krikorian walked over to congratulate Italy coach Fabio Conti, and then was tackled into the pool by a couple of his jubilant players.In another Olympics dominated by U.S. women, Steffens -- the MVP and probably the best player in the world -- and her teammates shined as brightly as any of them. The water polo tournament shifted to the Olympic Aquatics Stadium following the swimming competition, and the array of Pac-12 stars that dominate the U.S. roster picked up right where Katie Ledecky and company left off, wearing down their opponents with superior speed, athleticism and strength.The U.S. women were the overwhelming favorites all along -- and they played like it.

He returned in time for an opening 11-4 victory over Spain, and then nearly broke down in tears while talking about his brother after the win.Blakes 49th birthday would have been Thursday, and Krikorians wife, Anicia Mendez, surprised him in Rio to be there with him for the sad day and then the final.Its not about me and its about the team, and that has actually helped me and thats made it actually fairly easy, he said, and that doesnt take away from the love I have for my family or my brother. Its more of a sign of respect and love that I think we all have for each other.Krikorian brushed away any talk of winning it all for him and his family, insisting Blake himself would think it was a ludicrous notion, but his players pledged their support for their mourning coach. And they delivered with their play -- all the way to the gold medal.Thats what were about, Steffens said, is going out there, having fun and playing the best water polo we can.---Jay Cohen can be reached at http://www.twitter.com/jcohenap ' ' '
