Official World Golf Rankings - Jordan Spieth Holds #1 Position Despite Recent Struggles

The Florida swing moves to the Gulf Coast, where Jordan Spieth returns to defend his title at the Valspar Championship after struggling during the past month to regain his OWGR #1 form. Despite weak performances since returning from hius 'world #1 tour' last month, Spieth still holds a significant lead of about 1.5 points in the OWGR over Rory McIlroy and Jason Day. Fortunately for Spieth the OWGR is calculated based upon a two-year timeframe, not 1-2 months. Nonetheless, with the Masters just one month away young Jordan needs to quickly regain his championship form to successfully defend at the Masters. Jordan Spieth is looking for his first career title defense. At 22 years old, Spieth would be the youngest to successfully defend a PGA Tour title since Gene Sarazen at the 1923 PGA Championship. Spieth's scoring average is the best all-time in this event with a minimum of 10 rounds: Jordan Spieth: 69.75. Spieth had just one official PGA Tour victory before last year's Valspar Championship. Since then, he’s won six of his 24 starts. The only players to win the Valspar more than once are K.J. Choi and  Retief Goosen, who have both won it twice. Innisbrook Resort's Copperhead course is one of the toughest non-major courses on Tour. Last year, it was the eighth-toughest course, in 2014 it was fourth and in 2013 it ranked third.
