HUMBLE, Texas – The top spot in the Official World Golf Rankings appears out of reach for the foreseeable future, but Jordan Spieth has his eye on another prize.
Spieth has been ranked world No. 1 for a total of 26 weeks, most recently in March 2016. But he’s now ranked sixth, more than five OWGR points behind Dustin Johnson who has won each of his last three starts. With Johnson’s decision to withdraw from this week’s Shell Houston Open, he’s assured of entering the Masters with a four-point lead over Rory McIlroy – a gap over No.
