Even with a friendly home bounce, Dallas’ Jordan Spieth misses cut at CJ Cup Byron Nelson

Despite the advantage of playing in his hometown, Jordan Spieth failed to make the cut at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson held at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas. The Jesuit High School alum concluded the tournament with a two-day score of 4-under par, falling short of the weekend rounds.

Known for his precision and poise, Spieth struggled to find consistency on the course, with one wayward tee shot on the 16th hole landing in an unintended spot—a spectator’s location beneath the trees. Despite moments of brilliance, the local favorite could not capitalize on his familiarity with the course to advance.

Spieth’s performance at the Byron Nelson marks a rare disappointment in his storied career, especially on a course so close to home. Fans who gathered to cheer on their hometown hero witnessed flashes of his signature skill, but ultimately, he was unable to recover from a series of missed opportunities.

While the missed cut stings, Spieth remains a celebrated figure in Dallas and the world of golf, with plenty of opportunities ahead to regain his form. For now, however, this tournament serves as a reminder of the unpredictable challenges inherent in professional golf.
