contested convention, fail to win on the first ballot and be sent packing. >> i believe the first ballot will be the highest vote total donald trump receives and on a subsequent ballot, we're going to win the nomination and earn a majority. [ applause ]. >> reporter: cruz's campaign dismissed the gestapo tactic accusations as a sign that trump's team still hasn't figured out, this is trench warfare for delegates and trump better read the rule book and find a shovel. nora? >> getting more and more interesting. major, thank you so much. the democratic presidential candidates are fighting for new york's delegates, 247 of them at stake in next week's primary. 2383 delegates are needed to clinch the democratic nomination. hillary clinton leads the race by 696 delegates if you include superdelegates. now, without the superdelegates she bernie sanders by 258 pledged delegates. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. senator sanders racked up another victory this weekend and

7:11 am
voters who lived there first. >> remember, this is secretary clinton's adopted home state. this is where -- it's not a crime. i just made that point. >> the sooner i can become the nominee, i can turn and unify the democratic party, like i did with president obama back in 2008. >> reporter: even clinton's aids acknowledge the race will be close in the state clinton represented for eight years. >> it is extraordinary that someone with hillary clinton's political background and experience hasn't been able to quickly dispatch a 74-year-old socialist. hillary clinton can be very grateful that the republican nominee may well be either donald trump or ted cruz. >> part of the challenge for clinton is that democratic primary voters often gravitate towards the more liberal candidate. the same thing happened in 2008. clinton is working to counteract that in new york with a new ad out this morning, dana, that

happened. >> oh my goodness. >> reporter: it was a collapse of epic proportions, on golf's grandest stage. >> he is now having an absolute meltdown. >> reporter: after hitting two balls into the water on the 12th hole, jordan spieth, arguably the world's greatest player, gave away golf's greatest tournament. the defending champ went from a commanding five-stroke lead to three shots back in just a matter of minutes. >> this is actually quite brutal. >> reporter: on his find walk to the clubhouse, spieth's frustration was visible. >> not right now in the face. >> danny willett fired a final round 67. >> look at the ovation for this kid. >> reporter: snatching the green jacket away from spieth, who seemingly had one arm already in it. >> the 2016 masters champion, danny willett. >> reporter: willett surprising victory nearly never came to be.
7:18 am
his wife nicole was pregnant with an initial due date on masters sunday, but baby zach came 11 days early. willett only then decided to confirm his entry. >> it's just been incredibly surreal. i'm looking forward to getting back home and spending some time. >> reporter: but for jordan spieth, it was a heart breaking, gut wrenching defeat all culminating with the 22-year-old handing over the jacket he thought he would be adding to his wardrobe. >> it's tough. it's really tough. i just think it was a really very tough 30 minutes for me that hopefully i never experience again. >> spieth put the green jacket on willett three times for cameras. you could see the pain in his face each time, but jack nicklaus, the greatest masters champion of all time with six green jackets said this about spieth on twitter. my heart goes out to him for what happened. but i know that jordan is a young man who will certainly learn from the experience and there will be some good that comes out of this for him. can't argue with that.
7:19 am
>> he played beautifully. he just had a tough couple of holes and which is why golf is so terrible. he played beautifully. >> the interesting thing is he said -- as he was standing over that ball, he decided to change the stroke from a fade -- from a draw to a fade. >> right. >> and that was the mistake. >> done it a few years earlier, too. >> thank you, jamie. bruce springsteen takes a political stand that leaves fans disappointed. ahead, why one lawmaker is calling the legendary rocker a good morning. back in the bay area, mostly cloudy skies but hang on. we'll get more sun as the day goes on. this is san jose with cloudy skies but temperatures will top out mere 70. 58 for fairfield and the forecast is calling for things to dry out, no rain and wednesday, increased clouds and a few light showers by early thursday but next weekend looks
