AKRON, Ohio – On Tuesday, during his pre-tournament press conference at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, Jordan Spieth was responding to a question about his participation in the Olympics in Rio when he cited Columbia’s Camilo Villegas among those who planned to skip it. Only problem being that Villegas had yet make such a public declaration.
“Yeah, I actually heard Jordan Spieth said I wasn’t going to go play. I’ve been talking to Jordan and a lot of the guys. And I’ve got to be honest, Maria and I are trying to have kids right now. So the Zika is a concern,” Villegas said after the opening round of the Barracuda Championship.
