Jordan Spieths Chance at the career probably ends early with the opening of 76 on the PGA
Charlotte, NC (AP) – Jordan Spieth came to Quail Hollow in the hope of following in Rory McIlroy’s footsteps and completing the Grand Slam career. After Thursday’s opening round of the PGA Championship, he will probably be happy just to make the cut. The 31-year-old Spieth struggled in every facet of the game at Eizing Quail Hollow-from the tea, with his approach shots, his chips and even his placed and shot a 5-over-76, leaving him 12 shots behind the leader Jhonattan Vegas and she hoped this year of the year. Spieth could never find his swing and repeatedly judge distances on the flag, and made him scramble to parliament all afternoon. He managed to hold it together early and was even through eight holes. Then the wheels came down. He pitched six of the final ten holes-a slide of the rough at number 11 and not on the standings up and down on the no. 18 of the rough, a 12-feet is missing to save par. Spieth walked quickly to the practice series after signing his card and not asking questions. The playmate Ludvig Aberg could understand the frustration, but believe that Spieth will jump back. “Listen, Jordan is an incredible player and person,” Aberg said. “I told my Caddy today that he is one of the best, cutest guys in the world. I wouldn’t be surprised if the career of the career gets one day. But I am a great Jordan -Spies trailer and I will be long. ‘ It probably won’t be this year. MGM Sportsbook now calls him at 1000-1 to win. Spieth became the darling of golf at the age of 21 when he won the Masters and US Open in 2015. He captured the British Open two years later and brought him to the door of one of the elite clubs of Golf. But as McIlroy’s struggles to win the Masters until last month, Spieth couldn’t capture the PGA. He had some chances. He finished second in 2015 and bound for third place in 2019, but for the past five years he was in the middle of the suit – four times between 29 and 43rd. Now he is at risk of missing the cut for the first time since 2014. ___
