This week in golf has focused a lot on an 11-year-old girl who qualified for the Women’s U.S. Open, so maybe Jordan Spieth at 14 is a bit veteran, but it’s still pretty cool. This video of Spieth as a kid (well, more than the kid he is now) surfaced courtesy of @eurogolfpreview and it […]

Jordan Spieth’s final round 62 on Monday should all but land him a spot on this Presidents Cup

Before the 2013 PGA Tour season kicked off, Jordan Spieth was a relative nobody in the professional golf ranks, a kid that fit the mold of the confident amateur-turned-pro with lost of promise but no set plan for his immediate future. Spieth started the ’13 season without status on the PGA Tour, accepting sponsor exemptions […]

Teenager Jordan Spieth has been a highlight reel as of late on the PGA Tour

It’s been a pretty fun week to be 19-year-old Jordan Spieth. Last week at the Puerto Rico Open it was a third round hole-in-one by Spieth that made the highlights, but it was his weekend 67s that landed him tied for second and a payday of $ 308,000. This week at the Tampa Bay Championship […]

It appears that guy might be Tony Romo. The Dallas Cowboys quarterback/scratch golfer was paired with Jordan Spieth this […]
