Jordan Spieth screams expletive as Valspar Championship frustrations overcome him

Jordan Spieth carded a one-over-par 72 in his final round at the Valspar Championship, and the PGA Tour star could not hide his frustrations after one mishap around the green

Jordan Spieth’s frustrations were clear during his outing at the Valspar Championship last week after the 31-year-old lost his cool with one shot in particular.

Spieth’s week came to an underwhelming end at the Copperhead Course, shooting a one-over-par 72 on a Sunday where Viktor Hovland came away with his first PGA Tour title in over 18 months. Despite carding an impressive 67 the day earlier, Spieth failed to find his best golf in the final round.

Often one of the most vocal players on the PGA Tour, Spieth was this time heard using an expletive to describe an errant chip shot after he found himself in thick rough up by one of the grandstands at the Florida course during the opening round.

Appearing to get right underneath his attempt to find the putting surface, one fan captured Spieth crying out “f—!” after failing to execute the shot he was after. The clip quickly circulated its way around social media, with the majority of golf fans appearing to sympathize with Spieth.

Taking to X, one fan tweeted: “That’s the way I feel about my chipping game most days as well,” before a second went on to comment: “We’ve all experienced that Jordan.” A similar sentiment was shared by a third X user, who simply commented: “Relatable.”

A fourth then posted: “I’ve hit that shot before, and said that after that shot too,” whilst another added: “Happens to the best of us.” The incident occurred during the first round of play in Florida last week, where Spieth carded a frustrating three-over 74. He bounced back though with a 69 and 67 in rounds two and three, but failed to find his best on Sunday.

It proved a steady final round for the most part for Spieth, who canceled out an early birdie at the second with a bogey at the fourth, before parring his way through to 14. His day appeared on course for an impressive finish after he birdied the final two par-threes at the 15th and 17th.

The first saw him fire in a superb tee shot into the green, before tidying up from inside three feet. The second then relied on his putting, as he rolled in an attempt from 35 feet to get the Florida crowd going. In between his two birdies however came a dreaded triple bogey, after the three-time major winner found trouble off the 16th tee, hitting his first tee shot into the water.
