KAPALUA, Hawaii (AP) -- Three victories around the world. A chance to win another major. A Ryder Cup victory. Jordan Spieth had every reason to celebrate his year.
Part of him, however, couldn't wait for it to end.
''I was happy when the ball touched down and 2017 started,'' Spieth said Wednesday.
He wasn't the least bit bothered by what he achieved last year, especially a pair of PGA Tour victories that ran his total to eight before he turned 23. He just knew he faced endless comparisons with the year before, and even matching that was going to be close to impossible.
