Jordan Spieth’s major change is to go with the flow

Last year, Jordan Spieth posted one of the best seasons in the entire history of golf when winning five times.

Amongst others, victories included two majors, the Masters and US Open, as well as the season-ending Fed Ex Cup. And yet, as impressive as amassing yearly winnings in excess of $12 million is, it could have been even better — given that he also finished one stroke shy of a playoff at the Open Championship and second at the PGA.

While his performances were undoubtedly a welcome shot in the arm for the PGA Tour, (still struggling to find an American to fill the large void left by Tiger Woods), it created an even greater expectation amongst the world’s media that the trio of Jason Day, Jordan Spieth, and Rory McIlroy would now go on to dominate the game, given that they had already won five of the previous eight majors.
