Will Jordan Spieth Come Back?

I don’t know the stats but I’m not sure it was necessarily good golf. He certainly placed better than he has and he did much better on his last two weekend rounds than he has for quite some time. But damn....he’s not gonna keep going with his awful tee shots. I felt like he was constantly scrambling. Bunker, rough, bunker,  rough damn near every hole. He can’t rely on 30’ putts and chip ins or hole outs for eagles on par 4’s.

It seems like his swing is coming around since his little check with Butch Harmon.

He’s doing his OTT rehearsals and has piped drives on tough holes.

I think he is on his way back

74% GIR. Needs more accurate tee shots at 59% but gee whiz.. He’s been struggling for some time and finally playing better.

He was 39th in Strokes Gained: OTT. 10th in SG: Approach, which is not good enough to win when you've holed out two approach shots during the week. He's on the right track, but he's not going to be "back" until he wins. I haven't been this encouraged by his play for a long time now.

All that said, it was a weak field. Outside of Berger, Cantlay, and maybe Paul Casey, there wasn't much firepower at the top of the leaderboard.

And how about Lashley? Poor bastard 4 jacks #16 and cost him a bundle. That’s gotta hurt.

He channeled his inner Els for the putting and Sergio for the green damage.

It was funny too...the announcers had just recently commented how despite him being in a high pressure spot he’s really keeping his cool.....lol.

I’d hate to see him when he loses it!😜

He has always been hit or miss with his driver, but watching him lately, his iron play is getting back into form and I think Jordan is going to grab a win a one of the bigger tournaments like this week at the Players or Augusta National.

Jordan Spieth opens up about the hand injury that derailed his game | Golf News and Tour Information | GolfDigest.com

Quote

AUSTIN — On Monday, Ryan Lavner at GolfChannel.com reported that Jordan Spieth suffered a bone chip in his left hand in early 2018, likely sustained while weightliting, and that the injury plays a big part in explaining his shocking fall down the World Ranking through the rest of that year, culminating in a low point where he refused to touch his clubs for weeks at the end of 2020. His decision to play through pain rather than undergoing arthroscopic injury is one he now regrets, as it forced him to use a weaker grip and resist important swing changes pushed by his coach Cameron McCormick.

Hmmmmm.

Interesting. You buy it? I would think that a weaker grip would hurt more than a stronger grip. Too much pressure on the hand & wrist with a weaker grip.

Good to see Jordan in good form before he heads to Augusta and blows the doors off the place and wins by 12 strokes. Year of the SPIETH !!!!

He’ll have a 12 stroke lead and then put 6 balls in the water on 12.

Was Jordan a baton-twirler in high school by any chance?

I actually wish him well. He seems close. 12 has to give him nightmares though.

Pulling so hard for Jordan today. Watching back 9 at Valero yesterday was the most fun I've had watching golf in a while.

[Vinsk]

It’d be great for Jordan to win prior to The Masters. But having a strong Sunday even if he doesn’t win will surely make his Master’s mindset even better. I’m pulling for ole ‘milk and cookies’ and hope he can keep the improvements going.
