Jordan Spieth Sparks Strong Reaction With Unexpected Decision

It's been a busy past few weeks for golf star Jordan Spieth who admitted he needed some time away from the game after a missed cut at the Genesis Invitational last weekend.

“It’s been a tough week on the wrist. I wasn’t sure if I’d hit one more shot like my shot on 16 yesterday, I wasn’t going to finish the first round. I was OK to go today, but this cold, wet weather and third week in a row, it was not good for it,” Spieth said after missing the cut at Torrey Pines.

“It beat it up pretty good, but I’m hoping this next week, laying off of it for five or six days and working on it with therapy. It’s just inflammation so hopefully it will just go away and this will end up being a good thing that I kind of pushed it."

Apparently he didn't need too much time off because Spieth is already getting back on the course. In a surprise announcement on Friday night the Cognizant Classic revealed Spieth will be in the lineup just two weeks after saying he wanted some time off.
