NASSAU, Bahamas — Jordan Spieth had good memories and a strong vibe when he showed up at the Hero World Challenge last year. It was held at Isleworth, where Spieth recorded an eight-shot victory for his first college title as a freshman at Texas.
When he arrived at Albany Golf Club on Tuesday for his title defense, he was a little lost.
"It's different than I thought," Spieth said. "I thought were would be ocean views. We're on an island."
The Ernie Els design is located on the tip of New Providence, though it is built just enough inland that the ocean can't be seen from the golf course.
