Jordan Spieth Aces Iconic Oceanside Hole Before Pebble Beach Event

Jordan Spieth experienced a significant boost as he transitioned from the WM Phoenix Open to the iconic Pebble Beach Golf Links. After a frustrating missed cut at TPC Scottsdale, Spieth aimed to reclaim his form leading into the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

Recent Performance and Momentum Shift

Spieth faced challenges during the Phoenix Open, enduring three consecutive top-6 finishes before his latest setback. He recognized the need to reset mentally after admitting, “I got in a bad kind of mental place.” Determined to regain his rhythm, he prepared for the Pebble Beach event by practicing on Saturday.

Round at Pebble Beach and Cypress Point

On Sunday, Spieth and his brother, Steven, played rounds at both Pebble Beach and the prestigious Cypress Point Club. Their day included the iconic par-3 15th hole at Cypress Point, which Spieth described as “one of my top five holes in the world.” In an impressive display of skill, he recorded an ace, adding excitement to their outing.

Strong Start at Spyglass Hill

This good fortune continued into the first round at Spyglass Hill, where Spieth hole-in-one’d a wedge from 116 yards on the par-4 18th. His performance culminated in a remarkable 6-under 66, leaving him just four strokes behind the leader, Ryo Histasune, who shot a stunning 62 at Pebble Beach.

Looking Ahead

As Spieth prepares for his Friday round at Pebble Beach, he carries momentum from his recent successes. He aims to build on this positive energy as he competes in one of golf’s most prestigious events.
