SHEBOYGAN, Wis. – Ellie Spieth wrapped her arms around her brother’s leg and hugged with everything she had.
Jordan shared the squeeze, but when he went to move only his right leg went forward. Ellie stayed affixed to his left hip.
Jordan Spieth’s family was on hand Sunday at Whistling Straits, hoping to witness him make more history.
When he didn’t, at least when he didn’t accomplish his primary goal of becoming the third player in history to win three men’s professional majors in a season, the family was there to support him – and embrace him.
