WILMINGTON, Del. – Jordan Spieth felt like his playoffs got started a week late.
Sure, he was in the field for last week’s FedEx St. Jude Championship, but he sensed it might be a short stay.
“I was just not ready to play,” he said.
There was a reason for that.
Spieth took a few weeks off after consecutive top-10s in Scotland, but he admits he may have gone a bit too long without working on his game. By the time he was ready to ramp up again for the playoffs, well, he ran into an issue: all of the courses at home in Dallas were shut down for summer maintenance.
