Jordan Spieth admitted the frustration of missing the cut at The Masters helped inspire him to victory at the PGA Tour’s RBC Heritage held at Harbour Town Golf Club in South Carolina.
The 2015 Masters champion missed the cut at the season’s opening major last week, the first time he had done so in eight visits to Augusta, and the reverse proved the catalyst the 28-year-old Texan needed to reset his game.
He added: “I needed a lot of things to go right this week, and fortunately it did. I needed to birdie the 18th, then needed some help from the other players, and ended up in a one-on-one play-off where my lie in the bunker, although not great, was certainly better than Patrick’s. So it’s a bit of a surprise, but I definitely felt like I was putting myself in the position hole-to-hole this week to win a golf tournament.”
Lowry was leading the field after 13 holes during the final round, but a double bogey at par-three 14th, where he found the water after second shot chip raced across the green, saw his attempt to win his first tournament since the 2019 Open come up short.
