“I grew up living half a mile from him, and he was my sports hero growing up in Dallas”. And I thought that was pretty awesome. But the wind forecast is mild, so I think we might see record scoring if that holds.
After completing a two-event stretch halfway around the world, Jordan Spieth is ready to return this week to life on the PGA Tour.

World No. 1 Jordan Spieth plays for the first time on the PGA TOUR since his eight-stroke victory in the first event of the year at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions.
