Jordan Spieth happy with his season, would like 20 seasons like it
Alright, so Jordan Spieth didn’t win a major this year, the year after winning the Masters and U.S. Open and coming up a total of four shots shy of winning the single-season Grand Slam. While that’s disappointing, Spieth has so far won twice: an eight-shot rout in the Tournament of Champions and a dramatic win at Colonial that marked his first home-state PGA Tour win.
Looking back on Wednesday at The Barclays, Spieth said he was pleased with his work.
“I think it’s been a really good season,” Spieth said at Bethpage Black. “If I have a season like this and I’m out here for 20 more years, that’s 50-some odd wins, so I’m certainly okay with that.”
Spieth notched his seventh and eighth PGA Tour wins this season, but history will likely most remember Spieth’s Masters meltdown, losing a five-shot lead with nine holes to play.
“With the close call at the Masters; I had a chance to win that one,” he said. “A little disappointing in the other three to not give myself another chance.”
Of course, there are four more tournaments this season, unfolding in the next five weeks. Spieth is the defending champion at the Tour Championship, and he’s the defending FedEx Cup champion. There’s plenty to play for in those events, and that’s before he joins with 11 other Americans to try to achieve what he has outlined as one of his top goals for the year: regaining the Ryder Cup.
“Again, I’m setting some pretty lofty goals for myself for the next six weeks, and it needs to cap off with us retaining that Ryder Cup,” he said. “That’s very much on my mind.”
