Spieth's Special IQ Will See Him Through, Says Faldo
ST ANDREWS, Scotland — Jet-lag will be no obstacle for Jordan Spieth at this week's British Open because he is young, fit and strong and possesses a special golfing IQ, according to former world number one Nick Faldo.
The 21-year-old Spieth flew to St Andrews on Monday, a day after registering his fourth victory of a remarkable season in the John Deere Classic at Silvis, Illinois.
Six-times major winner Faldo dismissed any idea the American wonderkid might be drained by his recent exertions.
"It's amazing, when you're that young, you would say, one good night's sleep to get over jet-lag and he'll
probably be fine tomorrow morning," the Briton told reporters.
