“what the Spieth of Old”:Jordan Spieth’s performance in Phoenix says it all after four-word statement proven wrong

Jordan Spieth exceeded his own expectations at the WM Phoenix Open, securing a T4 finish despite predicting a slow return from wrist surgery. His performance demonstrated resilience and skill, especially after a six-month absence, proving he remains a force in golf.

Spieth’s remarkable shot on the 17th hole earned praise from fellow pro Billy Horschel, who called it “unreal.” Golf commentator Jim Nantz echoed the sentiment, declaring, “That’s the Spieth of old.” His ability to execute creative shots under pressure highlighted his trademark short-game brilliance.

Reflecting on his performance, Spieth acknowledged significant progress, stating, “This was just trending in the right direction.” He remains focused on building consistency and competing at the highest level. With momentum on his side, Spieth looks poised for a strong season ahead.
