In a post on X, Porter pointed out that Spath ranks higher in total strokes gained over the last 6 months than all but four Europeans, Rory Mroy, John Rom, Sept Straka, and Tommy Fleetwood. According to the leaderboard shared by Porter, speed’s six-month strokes gained average sits above notable names like Victor Havland, Shane Lowry, and Tierel Hatton. He shared the post featuring data from Data Golf on July 21st, captioning it as, “I think some of you may be stunned to learn that Jordan Spe, who some people are saying won’t be on the US team, has been playing better golf than all but four Europeans over the last 6 months. Jordan Spith finished T40 at the 153rd Open Championship. He opened with a first round 73 followed by 69 in the second round, 72 in the third, followed by a final round 68. Apart from that, the 13time PGA Tour winner had wrist surgery in August 2024 after tearing a tendon sheath in his left wrist. He didn’t touch a club for three months and returned to action at the AT&T Pebble Beach ProAm in January 2025. Spe has since played 16 events this season. He only missed the cut at the Genesis Invitational and the PGA Championship. His best performance came at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson where he finished solo fourth at 19 under.
