Column: Spieth No Tiger, Though That's Not a Bad Thing

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — Jordan Spieth was practicing a shot he hopes he won't need this week, banging a few wedges off the wall on the famous Road Hole in the fading sun at this, the birthplace of golf.

Dead tired after winning yet again in Iowa before flying all night to get here for what could be a defining moment in golf, Spieth was still intent on having a bit of fun.

"Who wants this?" he yelled out, signing a ball and then tossing it left-handed toward the 50 or so fans still around Monday night.
