Jordan Spieth wary of being ‘bitten’ again and makes Players Championship vow

Jordan Spieth has vowed to learn from his past mistakes by taking a different approach at the Players Championship.

The three-time major champion is competing in the tournament, which began on Thursday, as he ramps up his golfing activity after several months out due to undergoing wrist surgery. Spieth, 31, went under the knife in August to repair ulnar nerve damage in his left wrist and returned to action in January at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

The Dallas native will be making his 10th appearance at TPC Sawgrass, with his best finish seeing him place tied-fourth back in 2014. After taking to the green on Thursday, Spieth talked to fellow PGA Tour star Johnson Wagner, who asked him about his preparations for the Players Championship.
