When Jordan Spieth‘s name went to the top of the leaderboard early Thursday at the Masters, it performed the same magic trick that Tiger Woods‘ name used to do: It made all the other names sort of blur together and become indecipherable. Spieth is back, having shot a six-under 66 for the early lead. After dominating golf last year, he had struggled some early this year. You probably didn’t...
