Jordan Spieth delivered a stunning final round at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, carding a nine-under-par to finish 19-under overall. Despite his performance, it was Scottie Scheffler’s dominant 31-under showing that clinched the title.
Spieth kept things lighthearted post-round, joking with CBS reporter Amanda Balionis about whether his lead would hold. Her laughter said it all, reflecting the relaxed yet competitive atmosphere as Spieth eyes his long-awaited career Grand Slam.
The three-time major champion has struggled with consistency since 2017 but believes his form is peaking. Recent improvements and a strong showing in Texas signal he’s ready for the PGA Championship.
Inspired by Rory McIlroy’s recent Grand Slam completion, Spieth expressed admiration for Scheffler’s current dominance. He admits it’s motivating, reminding him of the high level needed to reclaim his place among golf’s elite.
