Spieth’s feeling confident

J O R DA N S p i e t h h a s emphasised how positive he i s feeling about his game ahead of this week’s AT&T Byron Nelson i n Dallas, declaring “everything is starting to fall in place”.

Spieth, yet to win a tournament i n 2018, came joint-third at the Houston Open l ast month, then third at the Masters.

And he shot a sevenunder 65 on Saturday at the Players Championship before dropping down the leaderboard on Sunday.

The 24-year-old threetime Major and 11-time PGA Tour winner said: “I feel as good about my game right now as I have this entire year and even a lot of last year, so I feel like good things are coming.

“I’ve stayed the course, had a l ot of patience recently. Everything i s starting to fall in place.

“I’m really starting to progress nicely, starting to see my lines better.

“Whether putts have gone in or not I’ve had better strokes.

“I was very comfortable on Sunday with Tiger (Woods).

“I felt like I didn’t get a lot of good numbers. I had a lot of in between numbers on shots, and some putts that the speed was a little off or the line was a little off.

“But I was as comfortable as I’ve been in a pretty relatively uncomfortable type of situation this entire year, including even playing well at the Masters.”

Spieth – who competed aged 16 in the 2010 edition of the tournament – is a member at Trinity Forest Golf Club, a new venue for the event.

He added: “Obviously with this course I feel like I’m at an advantage.”
