MCKINNEY, Texas — Jordan Spieth walked off of the 18th hole green at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney on Sunday to a standing ovation from the same pack of fans that had followed him up and down the course throughout the week.
He trudged through the putting green while applause echoed behind him. He stopped, with his daughter Sammy in his left arm, and signed autographs — on a hat, and on a golf glove — for a young fan camped outside the clubhouse entrance.
It was the type of reception a winner receives, only Spieth, a Dallas native, had fallen short at the AT&T Byron Nelson.
