Jordan Spieth is Having His Worst Year; Exploring America’s Favorite’s Struggling Form
Jordan Spieth will most likely miss his second cut at Copperhead Course in the 2024 season. Last weekend, at the Players Championship as well, the 13-time PGA Tour winner couldn’t stretch his game to the weekend and had to pack his bags earlier. Thus, it wouldn’t be far-fetched to say that the year hasn’t been going ideally for the golfer who started his season with an impressive score at third berth.
Spieth made it to the top of the leaderboard only two times this year and has also once been disqualified from continuing his game despite making the cut. These have created hurdles for the golfer who has time and again found himself surrounded by “weird circumstances that have kind of thrown some results out the window.”
Jordan Spieth’s sinking 2024 ship
Jordan Spieth started the 2024 season with a promising performance at The Sentry in Hawaii. By the side of the sea in Kapalua Plantation Course, the 30-year-old posted his best score of 27 under 265 and finished solo third at the leaderboard. Quite incredible, isn’t it? Well, with this Spieth was expected to rise even higher, but that did not seem the case.
At the second start of his season in Pebble Beach, Spieth’s performance was the opposite of what he did in Hawaii. Over the shortened 54-hole event, he started with an at-par opening round of 72, continuing with two rounds of 69-69. With only 6 under in three rounds, Spieth was at T39 on the leaderboard. Then the tides changed once again at the WM Phoenix Open. Though he didn’t win the event, with rounds of 68-66-69-67, Spieth had his second-best finish of T6.
