Cameron McCormick, the longtime coach of world No. 2 Jordan Spieth, said the media worries too much when his pupil isn’t winning.
McCormick appeared via phone on Matt Adams’ “Fairways of Life” on Friday and said that Spieth’s victory at the Dean & DeLuca Invitational was “a great bounce back” following his Masters collapse and a few sketchy starts before and after.
“Moreover, physiologically, what that win did is it validated that ‘I’m still here.’ I’ll use the term panic in the media. As so much is made out by the media, it’s unwarranted from the perspective of in the athlete’s mind, in the performer’s camp as well.
