After Further Review: Spieth's smoke-and-mirror show

Related Topics: Jordan Spieth, Byron Nelson

Each week, GolfChannel.com takes a look back at the week in golf. Here's what's weighing on our writers' minds.

Perhaps we should have listened to Jordan Spieth.

The Texan spent the whole week at the AT&T Byron Nelson explaining that his game wasn’t there, but he remained near the top of the leaderboard in front of hometown fans all the same.

On Sunday, though, the smoke-and-mirror show finally gave out as Spieth ballooned to a closing 74 that at times seemed even uglier than the score indicated. The two-way miss continued to plague him, and Spieth was unable to salvage his round on the greens as he so often has in the past.
