Jordan Spieth ready for Justin Thomas ‘chirping’ as Rickie Fowler comment speaks volumes

Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas have continued their friendly rivalry at the Valspar Championship, where both are pushing for victory. Their long-standing bond with Rickie Fowler, formed over years of competition and camaraderie, remains a driving force in their success. Fowler recently highlighted their competitive nature, noting that while they support each other, beating a close friend brings an extra level of satisfaction.

Thomas has surged into contention with a brilliant six-under-par round of 65, placing him tied for fifth at five-under, just two strokes behind the leaders. Meanwhile, Spieth, after a third-round 67, sits tied for 17th at three-under. This marks the first time the duo has played together for three rounds since the 2018 Players Championship, though they will compete in separate groups for the final round.

Spieth acknowledged Thomas’s strong position, emphasizing his friend’s recent dominance in their matchups. While Spieth aimed to keep pace, he admitted that Thomas, at five-under, has a realistic shot at winning if he maintains his momentum. As the Copperhead Course firms up, Thomas remains optimistic about his chances, noting that the final round will present a tough but fair challenge for all contenders.
