Watch The ’17 British Open this past weekend? If not, you missed a rollercoaster of a back 9 from 23-year-old, Jordan Spieth; however, one that was punctuated with a -12 victory. If you saw his tee shot on number 13, you had to question if he would be able to take the reins back. But, Jordan seeming to have the mental toughness of a seasoned warrior, got back to the mission, despite his missteps, by posting a bogey save at 13, then nearly holing out number 14, and draining an eagle putt from outside of Liverpool on number 15. It’s just another example of how anyone can bounce back, whether you’re dealt a bad hand, or you make a mistake, when you shift your mental energy to the path beneath your feet, and nowhere else. A big “thanks” to young Jordan for a refreshing example on overcoming adversity – in life, OR in his case, from firing a hosel rocket, on the back 9, into deep right foul ball territory. Onward, to the Grand Slam, Jordan. Read about Spieth’s British Open win, via a great article by Jonathan Wall at PGA Tour, here.
