Kuznetsov, who was selected by the Capitals in the first round of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, has been playing for his hometown team Chelyabinsk Traktor of the KHL.AKRON, Ohio -- Every once in a while, Jordan Spieth reaches his tipping point -- or maybe his boiling point.On Saturday evening, following comments critical of Firestone Country Clubs 16th hole after a third-round triple-bogey, Spieth reacted to a Golf Channel tweet that suggested he was complaining about the holes setup only after the fact.He explained that, like many other players, he believed the 655-yard hole would play better from 50 yards shorter, an opinion he made known well before his Saturday stumble.When a headline reads, kind of, Makes triple-bogey and blames the hole, Im like, I dont think that was fair because I talked about that hole last year, the year before and [in] a video of it Wednesday, he said after Sundays final round. I was not blaming the hole after I made an 8. I had already previously said that, and I just happened to just miss-hit a shot.After reading the tweet, Spieth responded with two of his own to explain his previous position on the matter.I certainly dont ever want to go down as a whiner or complainer or anything because we live the life, Spieth said. We truly are very, very lucky to do what we do, and I dont take that for granted, and I dont ever want to go down as high-maintenance or complaining about any situation, but at the same time, you guys want honesty, and Ill tell you what every single player says is thats a much better hole from 50 yards up.Spieth is an emotional player on the golf course, but he has spoken at length in recent weeks about maintaining perspective inside the ropes while trying to remain less frustrated.dddddddddddd Off the course, he tries not to read the criticism about himself but admits it does happen.Only when Im really bored, he said with a laugh.

After taking a drop, he airmailed the green.When he saw his complaint of the hole tied to how he had played it, Spieth felt compelled to respond.I was just a little frustrated with that being out and kind of maybe giving off as me complaining because I didnt perform on that hole, he said. But all in all, I shouldnt really get involved in social media. It doesnt do anything for me.With a final-round 3-under 67, Spieth finished in a share of third place,?three strokes behind winner Dustin Johnson. Ironically enough, it was the same differential that he lost on the 16th hole one day earlier. ' ' '
