Put Off Jordan Spieth For Majors? Don’t Be He Played Farmers With Busted Ankle
Keen Major punters will have been watching the form over the weekend at Torrey Pines, which was strangely set up just as difficult as when it staged the 2008 US Open.
My tip to perform well in the Majors in 2014 is Jordan Spieth and though he fell down the leaderboard at the weekend, had a darn good reason.
Spieth contorted his ankle late in the second round and was unable to load and unload during the swing, leaving his confidence in tatters. On Friday he said,
"My ankle's pretty messed up. I guess from there I just stopped loading as well on it and I started missing fairways. All in all I had no control over the golf ball today whatsoever with any club. It was tough."
"This is really the first event since as long as I can remember where I really just had no idea where the ball was going to go."
Spieth had physio on the ankle and had it strapped before the weekend rounds. He is expected to be recovered before the AT&T National Pro Am in two weeks.
In the end Scott Stallings broke free of the pack to claim The Farmers title. Here’s the highlights package from the final round.
