INCHEON, South Korea – Two years ago, Jordan Spieth was a 20-year-old captain’s pick with one victory under his belt and eyes wide open about making his debut as a professional in international team competition.
“I was the most nervous I had ever been when I started out the 2013 Presidents Cup to then become even more nervous at the Ryder Cup in 2014,” Spieth said.
What a difference a couple of years makes. Now he’s the No. 1-ranked player in the world, coming off a five-victory season that included the Masters and U.S. Open and the PGA Tour’s Player of the Year award.
