Jordan Spieth discusses the difficulty of making swing changes ahead of the Palmer Invitational
The three-time Major Champion also talked about the huge debt he and his peers owe to Arnold Palmer and other legends of the sport.
Rather surprisingly, this week will mark the first time that Jordan Spieth has played the Arnold Palmer Invitational at the Bay Hill Club.
He's 28/1 with Paddy Power this week, a price which factors in his novice status on the course.
That record, plus the promising signs over the last few weeks, has seen his price in the first Major Championship of the year plummet to 16/1 with the same firm.
Later in his chat, Spieth was keen to acknowledge just how much the PGA Tour membership owes to Arnold Palmer, as a golfer, businessman and human being.
But perhaps his greatest insight was into the difficulties that he and his good friend Rickie Fowler have experienced when trying to transform their swings in the limelight, and whilst also competing against a set of hungry contemporaries.
On understanding Rickie Fowler's form woes because of his own:
Only 5 players have had top 5s in all 4 majors in one season.
