FARMINGDALE, N.Y. – As Jordan Spieth heads into his third opportunity to round out the career Grand Slam, he’s got one word on his mind: consistency.
The former world No. 1 is down to 39th in the rankings, an eye-popping indictment of his recent lack of results. Spieth has made 13 starts this season but has yet to crack the top 20 in any of them, topping out with a T-21 finish at the Masters. He hasn’t had a top-10 finish since Carnoustie, and he hasn’t won since leaving Royal Birkdale with the claret jug nearly two years ago.
