Jordan Spieth is not a fan of the 16th hole at Firestone Country Club.
The 667-yard par 5 played to an average of 5.31 on Saturday during the third round of the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. That number was influenced by eight double bogeys and a triple. That triple, well, it was made by Spieth.
“I think it’s a poor hole from where we play the tee box,” Spieth said. “It doesn’t need to be there. It can actually be a really good par 5 from 50 yards up, which is still on the same tee box. But I did the hard work which was hitting two good shots to a really good number, 86 yards which is a go-to number for me.
