ST. ANDREWS, Scotland – Much was made of Jordan Spieth’s decision to honor a commitment and play the John Deere Classic last week, but as he said Wednesday at St. Andrews, “I don’t think anybody is going to argue with a win.”
The world No. 2 ticked every box last week – he knocked off some of the rust after two weeks away, he played his way into contention and then, on Sunday, he hoisted the trophy, after prevailing in a two-hole playoff with journeyman Tom Gillis.
“That was the game plan,” Spieth said Wednesday.
