What yips? Spieth turns in vintage putting performance at Farmers
0:001:50SAN DIEGO – In the days leading up to Jordan Spieth’s 2019 debut earlier this month at the Sony Open there were some who questioned if the 25-year-old had come down with a case of the putting yips.
Although it’s an admittedly small sample size, Spieth’s performance the last two rounds would suggest those observations were wildly overstated.
On Thursday at the Farmers Insurance Open, Spieth conceded he didn’t have his best ballstriking game, but his performance on the North Course’s greens was vintage. He needed just 22 putts on his way to an opening 7-under 65.
