ERIN, Wis. – Jordan Spieth finally figured out Erin Hills, but not in time to contend for the title at the U.S. Open.
Spieth went out early Sunday and battled the toughest conditions of the week, but he managed to card five birdies despite winds that gusted upwards of 30 mph. He shot a 3-under 69 for his first sub-70 score of the week and one that will inevitably allow him to float up the leaderboard by the end of the day.
“It was a fantastic round of golf, given what we were dealing with to start the day,” said Spieth, who finished the week at 1 over.
