Not that Dallas native Jordan Spieth didn’t enjoy the two-week home game that is the AT&T Byron Nelson and the Fort Worth Invitational – he certainly did. But he’s eager to get out of town, too.
“It was a great showing these last couple weeks by the fans,” Spieth said after closing with a 2-under 68, a 5-under total and a T-32 finish. “Obviously extremely appreciative here in DFW. Wish I could do more. These couple weeks can be a bit taxing, and it’s awesome to kind of have that support to carry you through.
“So, you know, I had a great time these couple weeks on and off the golf course as I always do, but I’m also really excited to kind of get out of town and kind of be able to just go back to the room and have nothing to do at night except for get ready to play the next day.”

Spieth will have that experience this coming week in Dublin, Ohio, site of the Memorial. He’s hopeful of improving on his T-21, T-32 finishes the past two weeks, and he thinks the main thing holding him back – his putting – is ready for a turnaround.
“I think good things are about to come,” he said. “I feel a good run coming for the second half of the season. Today was – each day I’ve felt better and better with the wedges and the putter and the short game; today was no different. My only bogey being just kind of trying to do too much on a par-5; 3-wood into the hazard.
“So, you know, I’m getting into where I’m not making bogeys, and then soon – the not making bogeys is great, and soon I’ll get back to the five, six birdies around and shoot some low rounds.
“So I know it’s right around the corner.”
