by |

All eyes turn to the golf world this weekend as players and fans gear up for the 122nd edition of the U.S. Open Championship. The four-day tournament makes its return to The Country Club in Brookline, Mass., for the first time since 1988 and this will be the fourth time that they’ve hosted (1913, 1963).

Many players hope to find themselves in the hunt for the Major championship on Sunday, or at least in the running to cash in on the $12.5 million purse. The winner will walk away with a $2.25 million check. Will Jordan Spieth make a run at one of the most prestigious titles in golf?

Jordan Spieth Course History

Spieth has never played at Brookline and in fact, this will be a new experience for most of the competitors, as this is the first USGA tournament at  The Country Club at Brookline since Matt Fitzpatrick won the 2013 U.S. Amateur. This course was redesigned for this tournament, so no one on the tour is familiar with this design. It’s on the shorter side at a little over 7,200 yards and a par 70 that reverts back to the old days of golf with smaller greens and brushing roughs surrounding the greens.

Jordan Spieth Recent Form

Spieth struggled going into the Masters and it showed, as he didn’t make the cut in Augusta. After that, he’s made some adjustments and has played much better. He had a win at RBC Heritage and two top-seven finishes with a T7 at the Charles Schwab Challenge and second at the AT&T Byron Nelson. The majors are still not as kind, as he finished T34 at this past PGA Championship.

The Pick: +110 to Finish Inside the Top 20 (via FanDuel)

Being a much shorter course, a big drive isn’t going to play a factor. With a course that is known for its thick roughs, staying on the fairway will play a key, but with a 58.32% driving accuracy percentage, Spieth could run into some trouble. Thankfully his approach to the green is great, as he’s 28th in strokes gained approaching the green and 20th around the green. That’s going to be his advantage as it will be a point to get on the green in as few strokes as possible. The infamous 131-yard 11th hole has a small green with a tilt, so his accuracy could be a plus where others could bogey. In fact, a majority of the holes feature small greens on tilts and slopes where the wrong approach could leave you in trouble. He’s struggling on the green, as he’s 153rd at -.200 strokes gained. His short game will make or break his performance, but his approach will keep him competitive.
