Jordan Spieth Stands by His Caddie with Unconventional Support: ‘I Don’t Need to Justify It

Despite Spieth’s inclination towards risk-taking and a habit of justifying his shot choices to Greller, a change is on the horizon. In a recent revelation, Spieth expressed his commitment to altering his post-shot analysis routine. The 29-year-old golfer aims to minimize his golf course chatter and refrain from providing extensive explanations to Greller after each shot. Spieth acknowledges that breaking old habits is challenging, but he is determined to embrace this change and focus on the game itself.

Spieth’s decision comes at a crucial juncture, where he finds himself in the running for victory at the PGA Tour. Currently positioned at second place with a 7-under par, Spieth faces tough competition but remains a formidable contender. The game’s suspension on Saturday adds an element of suspense, leaving fans eager to witness if Spieth can deliver a magical shot that propels him to the top of the leaderboard.

The relationship between Spieth and Greller is exceptional in the world of golf. Initially brought together in 2011 when Greller was a math teacher and part-time caddy, the duo has forged an uncommonly close bond. Despite their age difference, Spieth’s rapid rise to fame kept Greller by his side. Greller’s encouragement and role in Spieth’s victories, including the 2017 Open, showcase the profound impact a caddy can have on a golfer’s career.
