Spieth sporting green, but he's not the Golden Child

AUGUSTA, Ga. – The green jacket is all Jordan Spieth needs for an identity. He is the Masters champion.

It's just not going to help him get rid of a nickname he picked up late last year from a few PGA Tour players that goes against the way he was raised and irritates him more than a three-putt bogey.

Golden Child.

''It was either Colt Knost or Robert Garrigus ... I'm not sure who started with the nickname,'' Spieth said Tuesday during a break in his New York media tour.
