On The Tee: Spieth Wants a Trophy for Himself

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — If his match earlier this week was any indication, Jordan Spieth could be in trouble at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

He couldn't even beat a country singer.

To be fair, the world's No. 1 player was giving Jake Owen nine shots when they played at Cypress Point. Then again, he said Owen was beating him from the same set of tees and without taking any strokes through the opening six holes. It came down to the 18th, and Spieth had a 12-foot birdie to square the match. He missed.

"Jake celebrated and that was about that," Spieth said.
