Jordan Spieth is leaving TPC Scottsdale feeling both disappointed and encouraged.
He’s disappointed because he made just two birdies and carded 1-over 72 on Sunday at the Waste Management Phoenix Open to go from 54-hole co-lead to T-4, two shots back of winner Brooks Koepka. He’s encouraged because he gave himself a chance at winning for the first time on Tour since the 2017 Open Championship.
“I believe in what I'm doing,” Spieth said. “A result like this just helps confirm what I was already feeling, and that just moves the needle the right direction.”
Spieth began the final round by fanning his tee shot right into the desert and bogeying the first hole.
