Jordan Spieth spoke to the media after the Sentry Tournament where he finished 3rd.
I thought that five and six would really do me in um I thought it’d be really hard from there uh you just can’t really make a mistake when you get good chances when you’re behind and the scores are going to be the way they are so walking
Off six screen I thought you know we got to try to birdy every single hole but um in the back of my mind I knew it was going to be a really tough challenge uh just had to be totally mistake free and steal a couple extra cuz you can’t par
Those two holes today yeah I mean through through threw 11 Green then I had kind of made it back up and I mean birdied 7 8 9 10 11 so kind of felt like I stole two back um and that at least two back in that stretch so uh I thought
Walking off 11 Green okay you know if I if I if I get four by 18 you know I’ve got a chance at this and I think I ended up getting maybe three um and then uh yeah I just misread the putt on 18 and
And really wish that I I gave it more of a chance but if you told me eight under at the beginning of the day I would have thought Chris probably better six under but playing with the lead in the last group maybe um you know maybe eight was
In a playoff was kind of where my head was at so there was just some phenomenal golf plate everywhere yeah it’s been a it’s been a tough balance I I certainly didn’t put anywhere near the time that I I had wanted to prior to this event so
In that in that sense as far as um call it a month ago I’m a bit surprised at at where I’m at right now with my game which in in a good way um having said that the beginning of this week was um I was really optimistic off of the way
That I was playing just through practice um and some of the work I was doing on the greens and uh I thought that I I started on I started on Thursday morning thinking I I do have a chance at winning this golf tournament but but I have not
Been putting in the time that I’d like to and I I should be able to here over the next few weeks before it starts to get heavy so it it was kind of a one-off tournament I now have a little break and um I’m really glad to feel like I got a
Little house money as I go into heavier part of the season and feel like I’m trending the right direction so there’s nothing but optimism about what the season can bring at this point regardless of um what I’m trying to balance off the course
