Jordan Spieth’s swing ‘bodes well’ for 2024 after The Sentry | Golf Central | Golf Channel

8 UNDER TODAY AND SOLO THIRD. HERE’S JORDAN AFTER THE ROUND. >> YEAH, I THOUGHT THAT FIVE AND SIX WOULD REALLY DO ME IN. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE REALLY HARD FROM THERE. YOU JUST CAN’T REALLY MAKE A MISTAKE WHEN YOU MAKE GOOD CHANCES AND YOU ARE BEHIND AND

THE SCORES WILL BE THE WAY THEY ARE. WALKING OFF SIX SCREEN, I THOUGHT, WE HAVE TO TRY TO BIRDIE EVERY SINGLE HOLE BUT IN THE BACK OF MY MIND, I KNEW IT WOULD BE A TOUGH CHALLENGE. JUST HAD TO BE TOTALLY MISTAKE FREE AND SEAL A COUPLE OF EXTRA.

>> IT SEEMS LIKE WHEN YOU MADE THE RUN OVER THE BIRDIES AND GOING INTO 12, IT DID SEEM LIKE YOU WERE HAVING A LOT OF FUN. WERE YOU ABLE TO KEEP THAT MINDSET GOING EVEN THOUGH YOU HAD SOME BUMPS ON THE WAY EARLY ON? >> YEAH, THROUGH 11 GREENS AND

THEN I MADE IT BACK UP AND BIRDIE 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 AND I FELT LIKE I STOLE TWO BACK AT LEAST IN THAT STRETCH. AND I THOUGHT WALKING OFF OF 11 GREEN, IF I GET FOUR BY 18, I HAVE A CHANCE AT THIS. AND I THINK I ENDED UP GETTING

THREE AND THEN YEAH, I JUST MISREAD THE PUT ON 18 AND WISH I GAVE IT MORE OF A CHANCE. BUT IF YOU TOLD ME 8 UNDER AT THE BEGINNING OF THE DAY, I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT CHRIS BETTER 6 UNDER BUT PLAYING WITH THE LEAD IN THE LAST GROUP MAYBE 8

WAS IN A PLAYOFF WAS WHERE MY HEAD WAS AT. SO THERE WAS SOME PHENOMENAL GOLF PLAYED. >> I KNOW THE ONE HE MISSED YESTERDAY ON BIRDIE GOT A LOT OF ATTENTION. THERE WAS A SHARP PIECE OF COMMENTENTARY, JUST KNOCK IT IN, JORDAN. AND MAYBE TAKING A BIT TOO MUCH

TIME ON THE SHORTER PUTT. BUT DON’T LET THAT MASK THE FACT THAT STEPHEN PUTTED WELL THIS WEEK. >> BETTER THAN ANYONE IN THE FIELD. HE HAD A GREAT WEEK AND DAY ON THE GREENS. LET’S LOOK AT A COUPLE FROM TODAY. THE EIGHTH HOLE, UP ON THE RIDGE, YOU KNOW, HE IS ON THAT

LOWER TIER, IT IS TOUGH TO GET THE SPEED RIGHT. THIS IS THE LOWEST POINT OF THE GOLF COURSE. SO YOU ARE GOING FROM ABOUT 25 FEET, UP THAT HILL. ALMOST 30 FEET AT THE 11th. THIS GUY CAN JUST TAKE MORE THAN HIS SHARE. EVERY DAY, HE PICKS UP STROKES ON THE FIELD.

HE HAD ONE BOBBLE FROM ABOUT THREE FEET BUT ON THE DAY AND WEEK IT WAS EXTRAORDINARY. IT MAY BE JUST A DIFFERENT STORY IF JORDAN SPIETH HAD HIT A COUPLE OF SHOTS A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY AFTER A GREAT DRIVE AT THE 12th. THIS WAS PROBABLY THE MOST SURPRISING SHOT I SAW SPIETH HIT

ALL WEEK. MAYBE NOT THE THREE FOOTER BUT YOU KNOW, 60 YARDS OR SO, LANDING THAT AT 15 FEET ON THE GREEN. SO BAD SHOT THERE AND NOT A GREAT SHOT HERE BUT ONE OF THE WORST BREAKS YOU WILL EVER SEE SOMEONE COMING DOWN THE STRETCH AND HAVING A CHANCE TO WIN A

GOLF TOURNAMENT. BUT IN GENERAL, I WILL SAY, I LOVE WHAT I SAW OF HIS GOLF SWING. R PARTICULARLY FOND OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN THE LAST FEW YEARS WITH THE GOLF SWING. CERTAINLY THAT WORKS FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE BUT THAT IS NOT HOW JORDAN SPIETH PLAYS THE BEST GOLF.

BACK IN 2015, BY THE WAY, THE GOLF SPEED IS UP TO 178 MILES PER HOUR. THAT IS ZIPPING. THAT IS HEAVY. SO HE IS FEELING GOOD. HE IS MOVING GOOD. AND THAT IS A GREAT SPOT. YOU OPEN THE CLUB ON THE LEFT AND YOU OPEN IT MORE FROM THE

BACK AND THE CLUB IS HUNG BEAUTIFULLY. THERE IS A MORE NEUTRAL RISK. HE STRUGGED IN 2017. FOR THE MOST PART, COMPARED TO THE BEST GOLF, FAR MORE BOWED AND FAR MORE SHUT IN 2023. YOU LOOK TODAY AND MOST OF THAT BOW HAS COME OUT OF IT. IT IS MORE RIGHT ON PLANE, EVEN

WITH THE PLANE OF THE LAEFT ARM AND A LITTLE OF HIS BEST SPOT. THIS DOES BODE WELL FOR 2024. I LOVE WHAT I SAW OUT OF THAT GOLF SWIPG. I REALLY DO. IT MAY BE THE BEST I HAVE SEEN HIM SWING IN 2017. >> AND WITH A PUTTER, AM I

CORRECT TO SAY IT SEEMS TO FLOW A LITTLE BETTER FROM LONGER RANGE? >> YEAH. >> I KNOW YOU SAID YOU THOUGHT IT WAS A LITTLE QUIP FROM SHORT RANGE. >> I ALWAYS THOUGHT HE HAD A QUICK FOLD AND PRESS WHICH TENDS TO OPEN THE FACE A LITTLE. BUT ON LONGER PUTTS, YOU HAVE

MORE TIME AND MORE FLOW TO THE STROKE TO SQUARE THAT FACE UP. THE SHORT PUTT LOOKS LIKE THE TEMPO IS QUICKER AND THE BACK STROKE IS QUICKER. YOU GO BACK TO 2018 FROM 18 TO 203 HE HAS BEEN OUTSIDE OF LUCAS GLOVER, THE WORST ON THE PTA TOUR BECAUSE EVERY SINGLE YEAR

HE IS 180th, 190th, HE HAS MISSED MORE THAN HIS SHARE FROM THE PREVIOUS SEASON. >> WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF A GOOD YEAR FOR JORDAN SPIETH, TO GOLF IN GENERAL? >> I THINK HE IS ONE OF THE MOST COMPELLING PLAYERS THAT I HAVE SEEN, NOT NAMED TIGER WOODS IN

THE LAST 25 TO 30 YEARS, WINNING MAJORS AT A QUICK CLIP EARLY ON IN HIS CAREER. IT LOOKED LIKE HE WAS ON A TRAJECTORY TO HAVE A SIXTH MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIP OR A LEE TREVINO TYPE CAREER AND GO DOWN AS ONE OF THE BEST PLAYERS OF ALL TIME.

SO TO SEE HIS GAME FALL OFF, ONE YOU FEEL BAD FOR HIM. BUT TWO, IT HAS TAKEN A LOT OF THE EXCITEMENT OUT OF THE GAME BECAUSE THERE WERE VERY FEW PEOPLE THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN ABLE TO SCRAMBLE AND WIN GOLF TOURNAMENTS AS SPECTACULARLY AS JORDAN SPIETH.

EARLIER I MADE A COMPARISON TO ARNOLD PALMER, TO TOM WATSON, PHIL MICKELSON IN EXCITEMENT AND
