The Grand Slam Career remains on hold while Jordan Spieth opens PGA Championship in 76

Charlotte, NC – Jordan Spieth came to Quail Hollow hoping to follow the steps in Rory Mciclroy and finish the Grand Slam career.

After opening on Thursday PGA championship, it would probably be happy to just make a cut.

The 31-year-old spin fought in every aspect of the game in the demanding Prepeal hollow – with the team, with its access, chips, and even its putting 76, leaving the remaining 12 shots Leader Jhonattan Vegas And everything except hopes for this year to capture a great main one who has gone out since he left himself 13 years ago.

Spieth could never find his swing and repeatedly miscasting distance on the flag, leaving him to abolish him for a couple. All afternoon.

He managed to keep him early together and even me was through eight holes.

Then the wheels came down.

He kicked out six last 10 holes – pieces chip from rough to no. 11 and failed to get up and dropped for a couple at no. 18 of the rough, missing 12-footer to rescue a couple. Spieth hurriedly walked toward the price range after signing his card and did not take questions.

Playing a partner Ludvig Åberg could understand frustration, but he believes that Spieth will reject.

“Listen, Jordan is an amazing player and a person,” Aberrg said. “Today I spoke to my bath that is one of the best, most beautiful guys in the world. I wouldn’t be surprised if you get a Garden Slam one day. But I’m a big Jordan fan and I’ll have long time.”

It is unlikely to be this year.

Spieth became a dear golf in 21. years when in 2015. won the Magisters and opened us in 2015. years. He captured the British opened for two years later, leading him to the threshold of one of Golf Elite Clubs.

But as McIlroyine struggles to win the master by last month, Spieth failed to catch the PGA.

He had several good chances.

He finished second in 2015. year and tied to a third of 2019. years. But in the last five years he was in the middle of the package – four times the final processing between 29. and 43. years. It is now in danger that the first time is missing the cut since 2014. years.
