Spieth looks to shed Augusta hoodoo

Miami, March 22: Former world number one Jordan Spieth says he can’t wait to get next month’s Masters out of the way — because he’s fed up with being asked about his nightmare collapse at Augusta in 2016.

Spieth appeared to be cruising to back-to-back Masters titles 12 months ago after opening up a five-shot lead with nine holes to play on the final Sunday in Georgia.

But Spieth’s bid for history went up in flames allowing England’s Danny Willett to grab the famous green jacket.

“No matter what happens at this year’s Masters, whether I can grab the jacket back or I miss the cut or I finish 30th, it will be nice having this Masters go by,” he said ahead of this week’s World Golf ChampionshipDell Match Play tournament in Austin, Texas.

“The Masters lives on for a year. It brings a non-golf audience into golf. And it will be nice once this year’s finished to be brutally honest.”
