It’s Been a Little Bit Tough’: Jordan Spieth Opens Up and Makes an Unfortunate Confession

In the heart of Arizona, where the sports world’s attention is divided between the Super Bowl and the WM Phoenix Open, fans are reveling in the excitement. It’s a scene to behold, with jerseys of all kinds dotting the spectator section at TPC Scottsdale. Yet, for PGA Tour pro Jordan Spieth, the looming Super Bowl presents a challenge he’s not exactly looking forward to. During a candid press conference yesterday, he unveiled a confession that may come as a surprise to many.

As the WM Phoenix Open unfurls its unique brand of madness on the PGA Tour, one can expect the unexpected. Spieth, the FedEx Cup champion, was asked about his game plan for the day, and he couldn’t help but draw parallels to the 2015 Super Bowl Sunday. He recalled it as one of the loudest Sundays in his memory. “I remember the Sunday in 2015 in a relatively similar position with a Super Bowl that day. I remember that being one of the louder Sundays. So I expect to see a lot of jerseys,” he remarked.

However, it was his mention of the Philadelphia Eagles at the Super Bowl that truly grabbed everyone’s attention. Spieth, a Dallas native, admitted, “For me, unfortunately, I expect a lot of — for those who know that I’m from Dallas, it’s not really great that the Eagles are in the Super Bowl.” With Eagles fans set to attend the golf tournament, the 2015 Masters winner has a plan. He hopes to stealthily navigate the situation, acknowledging that it hasn’t been easy so far. “So I’ll try and dodge the Eagles fans. Maybe they will go follow somebody else,” he mused.

Spieth’s demeanor at the Phoenix Open suggests he’s having a blast. Especially after his second-round performance, where he managed to hit 18 greens in regulation for the first time since 2013. Achieving this feat is no small task, and Spieth himself acknowledges the challenge. While he had prepared himself for such a performance, he reveled in the experience. Despite a bogey from a 3-putt and four 3-putts in the past three days, he exudes confidence for today’s round, with a strategy aimed at eliminating such mistakes.

On Saturday, Spieth delivered a remarkable bunker shot at the WM Phoenix Open, leaving his caddie in awe. He described it as the best bunker shot he had ever executed in his career. Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Spieth has made waves with a bunker shot at TPC Scottsdale. Last year, he pulled off a similar feat, becoming the center of attention once again. It’s almost as if history has a way of repeating itself for him.

As Spieth navigates the fan frenzy and aims to maintain his focus on the golf course, the question looms: Will he successfully dodge the fervent Eagles’ fans and continue his pursuit of success at the WM Phoenix Open? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – Spieth’s journey at this iconic tournament is filled with unexpected twists and turns, just like the event itself.
