Can Jordan Spieth land his first win since 2017? Final round preview of the Texas Open
The American is tied for the 54 hole lead with Englishman Matt Wallace at TPC San Antonio and is hoping for the perfect Texan send-off ahead of next week’s Masters.
Then, suddenly, Spieth bounced back and heading to TPC San Antonio for this week's Texas Open he had logged three top fives and, more importantly still, had rediscovered his mojo, holing outrageous putts and walking the fairways with a bounce in his step.
Surely Spieth's opportunity to break his drought, priced by Paddy Power at evens, is golden?
Spieth's record with a 54 hole lead
At first glance, Spieth is strong from the lead: he's claimed 10 wins from 19 third round leads.
