What happened

— He already has won the Masters once and arguably should have won two green jackets.

Why it matters

Yet Jordan Spieth, an unquestioned fan favorite, has remained remarkably under the radar this week and isn’t on anyone’s list of top potential winners.

Common ground

He joked that no one asked him for an interview until Wednesday.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
