Jordan Spieth shot a 75 Sunday at
TPC San Antonio.
A final-round 75 wasn’t the finish Jordan Spieth was
hoping for, but it’s all part of the learning experience for
the 18-year-old University of Texas freshman. “I gained a lot
of confidence from it,” Spieth said. “It didn't end the
right way but it was a great week overall.” At one point in
the third round, Spieth climbed as high as the top 5 on the
leaderboard at TPC San Antonio before a bogey-double bogey finish
derailed him as he closed in 40 to shoot 72. This was the second
PGA TOUR event of the year for Spieth, who earlier this season
missed the cut at the Northern Trust Open after rounds of 76 and
71. Last year, he tied for 32nd in the HP Byron Nelson Championship
and in 2010 tied for 16th there before missing the cut at the FedEx
St. Jude Classic the following week. For now, though, Spieth will
head back to Texas, where he’ll focus on school and the
Longhrons’ post-season, and Big 12 and National Championship
race. “I'm glad to be back and joining the team for that and
then can't wait for summer,” he said. “This summer
should be filled with quite a few tournaments.”
