After three rounds at Augusta National, many 2014 Masters onlookers are asking the same question: Who is Jordan Spieth?



The 20-year-old Masters rookie has been playing like a seasoned veteran, navigating the treacherous twists and turns of this historic golf course with ease.

Through three rounds, Spieth was one of the few golfers to put up sub-par rounds during each day at Augusta, recording a 71, 70 and 70, respectively.



Spieth showed a high level of poise and mental toughness so far at the Masters despite his young age. He's avoided tournament-altering blemishes, with no double bogeys or higher on his scorecard through three rounds.



His smooth swing, power and touch around the green have all been on display. These attributes were highlighted during Round 2 when he eagled the par-five 15th.

Spieth crushed his drive down the center of the fairway, providing an excellent opportunity to have a go at the green in two. A perfectly struck fairway wood landed just on the front of the green and ran just several feet past the pin. Maintaining nerves of steel, he rolled an ultra-slick downhill putt right to the center of the cup.



One fist pump later, Spieth became one of the tournament's must-see players.

Spieth told reporters that his mentor, Ben Crenshaw, played a huge part in his stellar play and solid mental game heading into the Masters, according to Larry Fine or Reuters.com:

Mr. Crenshaw says it best, the Masters brings out emotion in guys that aren't emotional. I'm already emotional and I got to keep it on the down low. My caddie (Michael Greller) has been doing a great job of keeping me calm, level headed, and focused on bogey as the worst score.

He maintained his composure beautifully on Saturday, bouncing back nicely from his two bogeys on the day with four birdies.
