Despite a winless stretch since 2022, Jordan Spieth continues to captivate fans with his charisma and candid moments. While battling it out at the CJ CUP Byron Nelson, Spieth’s lighthearted story ahead of Sunday’s round stole the spotlight from his T23 position.
In an interview with Amanda Balionis, Spieth recounted a humorous exchange with Si Woo Kim. He urged Kim to two-putt on the 18th to ensure they could partner the next day. Kim delivered—and the duo celebrated with a playful chest bump, showcasing great camaraderie.
Spieth elaborated on the moment, explaining the friendly pressure he placed on Kim to secure their pairing. After Kim made the putt, Spieth responded by sinking a 21-foot eagle—capping off the day with flair and earning a shared Sunday tee time with Kim.
Looking beyond laughs, Spieth’s fans are still focused on his chase for the elusive career Grand Slam. As the PGA Championship returns to Quail Hollow, the Dallas native hopes to rewrite his challenging history at the venue and finally seize golf’s rarest achievement.
