Jordan Spieth honest about state of his game in sincere chat with Amanda Balionis
Jordan Spieth made a remarkable turnaround at the John Deere Classic this weekend, bouncing back after an intense interview with CBS golf correspondent Amanda Balionis.
The 30-year-old golfer was languishing in 57th place after the first two rounds but surged up the leaderboard on Saturday, carding his lowest round of the yeara dazzling eight-under-par 63.
Despite not being able to replicate his Saturday magic, finishing with a one-under-par 70, Spieth expressed satisfaction with his overall performance. Meanwhile, Davis Thompson, hot off a tied-ninth finish at the US Open, clinched victory at the PGA Tour event with a staggering 28-under-par total.
In a post-round sit-down with CBS’ Balionis, Spieth reflected on his strategy: “Setting a goal, sticking to it,” he began. “I kind of had one lapse in concentration, it was my only bogey of the day. But other than that, if I didn’t have a great number, I played it to where I could make a putt.”
He continued, detailing his approach: “And then when I had a good number, I went after the pin, so it’s just interesting – we’ve been playing some many hard golf courses that I think it took me a little while to change the way I was playing here. And I saw a couple of putts go in, and my goal was to putt more aggressively today – I left a lot of putts on the front lip the last two days.”, reports the Mirror.
