The 2024 WM Phoenix Open is making waves on the internet, for the right reasons! The event is going head-to-head with the Super Bowl LVIII and is carrying multiple unique factors. One of them is the return of Bud Cauley after three years! Although it wasn’t Cauley who won hearts, it was Jordan Spieth who solidified his place in fans’ hearts after the first round.
The American golfer brought 15-year-old Sonny Sciantarelli with him at TPC Scottsdale. Sciantarelli is a high school freshman diagnosed with anaplastic large-cell lymphoma in March 2022. But the 15-year-old’s love for golf has made him fight, leading to his fans coining the term ‘Sonny Strong’.
Jordan Spieth, along with Make-a-Wish, honored his dream of playing in a PGA Tour event. The American golfer even convinced Sciantarelli to chip the ball for him! He guided him through the shot, and the 15-year-old landed it perfectly near the hole. “Nice! Nice chip. Great shot. Good work,” Spieth cheered.
