PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Golfer Jordan Spieth regrips his driver again and again, his twitchy right thumb still moving as he takes away the club.
The adventure begins as the ball launches into the air during Thursday’s first round of The Players Championship.
Spieth talks to his ball, himself or caddie Michael Greller, if not all three. The combination of nervous energy, histrionics and shot-making turn a round of golf into an 18-act play.
