Former slow player Spieth helped Tour develop new pace-of-play policy
SAN DIEGO – In 2016, Jordan Spieth vowed to speed things up on the golf course, and his self-imposed transformation from problem to perfectly in the middle of the pack was cited as an example of how players can pick up the pace.
Spieth, who was voted among the PGA Tour’s five slowest players in an anonymous player poll in 2017, said his decision to play faster was “selfish.”
“For me, I just didn't enjoy having that label and wanted to change it,” Spieth said Tuesday at Torrey Pines.
