Beginning the forth round with a one-shot lead at the Dean and Deluca Invitational,
Jordan Spieth finished in style to seal a three-shot win over Harris English
that marks his first-ever professional win in his home state. This win not only helps boolster Speith's much needed confidence heading into this coming week's Memorial Tournament but also strengthens his hold on his OWGR #2 position. “It’s really special. Had some close calls, even here in the
past,” Spieth said. “Fort Worth was the first one. This is a very
special place. This tournament gave me a champions’ exemption back in
2013 when I was searching for exemptions. They gave it to me before I
even had status, so I actually owe a lot to this event, and it’s very
special to me.” The victory is Spieth’s eighth of his burgeoning pro career, and he now joins Jason Day and Adam Scott as the only players with multiple wins this season on the PGA Tour, having won the Hyundai Tournament of Champions in January. “Actually at this point last year we had two wins, so we’re kind of
right on track,” he said. “Obviously we had a major last year and almost
one this year, but things seem to be kind of back on track, in
contention three of the last four events, and that’s the way we’ve tried
to keep on looking at it.” With all eyes now focused on the "meeting" at Jack's place - The Memorial - just how will this win enhance Speith's competitiveness against Jason Day and Rory McIlroy? Share your thoughts with the Pro Golf Tour: http://progolftournaments.blogspot.com/
