Former Masters champion Jordan Spieth credited his wife, Annie Verret, for helping him win the 2022 RBC Heritage with a simple yet powerful message. Her rare golfing advice came at a critical moment in his career.
Spieth had been frustrated after missing a short putt on the third round’s final hole. Annie’s seven words—“You need to take 5 seconds now”—reset his mindset before the final day, ultimately leading to a playoff victory.
Though she typically avoids giving input on his game, Annie’s timely support proved instrumental. Spieth acknowledged her impact, reflecting on how those few words influenced his concentration during key moments.
Following his win, Spieth celebrated with Annie and their baby son Sammy. Despite lingering frustration over his earlier mistake, the calming presence of his family helped him refocus and cherish the emotional victory.
