DUBLIN, Ohio -- Buried in gnarly rough Thursday at the Memorial, the prudent shot for Jordan Spieth was to chip out sideways back to the fairway. That's what his caddie suggested. That's not how ...

Jordan Spieth’s run at the 2025 Open Championship didn’t quite go as planned. The 2017 Open champion struggled early at Royal Portrush, opening with a 73 on Thursday.

Spieth, who remains in pursuit of his first major since he won The Open eight years ago, finished T14 at the Masters, missed the cut at the PGA Championship and T23 at the U.S. Open.

After hitting his tee shot on the par-5 fifth into the thick, right rough, Jordan Spieth was growing frustrated. "We're trying to make 5," caddie Michael Greller told his boss.
