The Nelson has eluded Jordan Spieth, but that could change Sunday
Jordan Spieth and the AT&T Byron Nelson go way back.
Spieth was barely in elementary school when his dad, Shawn, took him to his first Nelson, where a young Spieth was just as concerned with getting autographs as he was watching golf shots.
“I remember Davis Love being so nice to me,” Spieth recalled. “From then on, that kind of solidified my dream to be a professional golfer.”
Spieth’s dream has come true in a big way – three major championships among 16 worldwide victories, 26 weeks at world No. 1 and seven total Cup appearances. However, he has yet to win the hometown Nelson.
