W The fairways hardened by this extended summer, Spieth has the trick and ingenuity to recover custody of his most cherished possession, Sunday night. If Brooks Koepka can win successive US races on courses as varied as Erin Hills and Shinnebad Hills, then Spieth is quite capable of doing Carnoustie what he did to finish the holes at Birkdale. To put himself in a good mood, he took leave, spending holidays with friends in Baja California and attending the US Special Olympics in Seattle, where his sister Ellie – born with a neurological disorder – was a pom -pom girl. "After a few weeks, it was nice to have the itch to come back," he said. "He could start from scratch with parts of my game, almost like wet concrete."
In a broader context, Spieth's recent plunge does not matter much in the judgments made about his work. At 24, he has already ambaded 11 victories on tour. Only Tiger Woods had more at the same stage. But still, there is the throbbing sense with Spieth that a whole year without silverware represents a failure of retribution. Since he's started winning national amateur titles at the age of 12, he has been praised for his precocity, his serial winner distinction. But lately, he looks unusually ragged, missing the cup at the US Open, his first such foul at a major for three years, with his more demanding pre-shooting routines heavier than ever . The choice he would face here, as he said, had to be either an artist or a technician. "Probably more artist," he finally decided. Spieth could not have a finer canvas than Carnoustie.
