Jordan Spieth, despite not earning his first win since 2022, displayed promising signs of a return to form at the recent tournament. His best finish in over a year, boosted by strong performance in approach and scrambling, suggests a positive trend. Although he struggled with putting, Spieth's performance and an impressive par save on the 11th hole indicate a glimmer of hope for the three-time major champion.
Well, he didn’t earn his first win since the 2022 RBC Heritage. But with his best finish in over a year, the three-time major champion is starting to feel his game come together.. “I didn’t feel like this was a one-off. It felt like this is just trending in the right direction. I’m pretty realistic with myself on that. My expectations have been low, like I’ve mentioned. Just trying to get a little bit better each time.”after left wrist surgery and placed T69. He’s now No.
Spieth, however, showed there might be light at the end of the tunnel. He was second in the field in strokes-gained approach and scrambling. Plus, he was bogey-free for a 48-hole stretch. And if his putter cooperated a little more, he might have found himself a few spots higher on the leaderboard and a new wrist,” he said, “and I was trying to figure out how to manage all three.”
In doing so, the former Texas Longhorn has the golf world giddy that he can return to dominance. But he knows there’s still work to be done. “I’ve got some stuff to improve on significantly within tee to green and on the greens,” he said, “and the fact that this is where I’m at right now is really cool. It’s a little bit of a monkey off the back, a little bit of a weight lifted off my shoulders, just feeling like I have a little bit of house money now, which I play a little bit better from.”Max Schreiber is a contributor to the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated, covering golf.
