Going back to this, I don't think people realize (or they forget) how great of an iron player Jordan has been for most of the last 2 seasons. It was a hole in his game during a good chunk of '14-'16 when he was lights out with his putter, and he's improved significantly. It's a shame, because if he was even decent with the flatstick this season, his game would have been scary good. It will be interesting to see what 2019 Spieth looks like because if he is able to get back to how he was putting 2 years ago, he could win a lot of tournaments with the improvement in his ball-striking.
To the point that it's the tee-to-green guys whose names dominate the leaderboard...
In 2018, the top 10 TtG players won 16 tournaments and were in the top-10 73 times. The top-10 putters on tour won 4 tournaments and were in the top-10 32 times (with Day, Phil, and Simpson winning all 4 of those tournaments and taking 19/32 top-10s). The guys who consistently hit the ball well win a lot of tournaments when they are dropping putts. That's been Justin Rose as of late. Now that he started to putt this season, his name is at the top of the leaderboard every week.
If putting was the only part of Jordan's game, he'd be talked about with the likes of Greg Chalmers or Daniel Summerhays, not a 3x major winner and 11 wins on tour before age 25.
