Jordan Spieth has been down this Texas road before.
A year ago, the Dallas native drove to the Oaks Course at TPC San Antonio for the Valero Texas Open without having won since the 2017 Open Championship, the third of his three major triumphs.
The drive was far from depressing despite going 83 events without winning, for his form was on an encouraging uptick. After dropping to 92nd in the official world rankings a month into 2021 – his worst rank since 2012 – the former world No. 1 registered five top-15 finishes in six starts ahead of the Valero Texas Open.
