Jordan Spieth has made a U.S. Open decision which proves just how far he has fallen

He went on to win The Open two years later in 2017 but has been without a major victory ever since then.

The 13-time PGA Tour winner has regressed badly over the past few years and has not won on the PGA Tour since April 2022.

Jordan Spieth’s U.S. Open decision proves just how far he’s fallen

Spieth’s fall from grace has been a ‘tragedy’ to witness, with Gary Player suggesting that the three-time major champion has been a victim of poor coaching.

He has tumbled outside of the top 50 in the world rankings, and has been a complete shadow of his former self for quite some time now.

As a result of his prolonged drop-off in form, Spieth will have to mix it with the journeyman ahead of the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills in June.

Spieth has gone through U.S. Open qualifying before: in 2012, 2013 and 2014.

And he will be doing the same this year after his 10-year exemption for winning the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay 11 years ago expired after the 2025 edition of the championship at Oakmont.

Jordan Spieth’s U.S. Open record

Interestingly, Spieth has a really poor U.S Open record.

Aside from his win in 2015, the 32-year-old from Dallas, Texas, does not have a single top-10 finish to his name.

Spieth’s best U.S. Open finish, not including his win of course, came in 2014 when he ended up in a tie for 17th at Pinehurst.

He has also missed four cuts in 14 appearances in his National Open.

Jordan Spieth has now been forced into having to qualify for the U.S. Open this year due to his poor run of form over the past few years.

And in fairness to him, he deserves huge credit for not feeling like that is beneath him.
