After 1,139 days without a victory, Jordan Spieth inches toward a long-awaited win at the Memorial Tournament. Sitting fourth and just five strokes behind, the Texan’s recent form hints at a potential comeback—but challenges remain.
In a post-round interview, Spieth reflected on his journey, citing recovery from wrist surgery and a poor 2024 season as major setbacks. Still, he feels encouraged, saying he’s “heading in the right direction” with renewed health and consistent play.
Despite positive strides, Spieth acknowledged that catching leader Scottie Scheffler would require “something special.” Scheffler’s dominance—highlighted by elite club face control and unmatched consistency—poses a steep challenge for anyone chasing the title.
Spieth admires Scheffler’s game and draws inspiration from his form. Although frustrated, the 13-time PGA Tour winner is motivated to keep improving—and may yet break the drought if momentum carries through Sunday’s final round.
