“Frankly, just I put in a 3-iron like two days ago and it cost me two and a half shots, the shots I hit with that club. I’m going to go back to my hybrid and I’ll be better off,” Spieth said following his Sony Open outing.
At the moment, Spieth is tied for T41 at the Sony Open, but his position could have been a lot better had he not chosen to randomly experiment with his irons just days before the tournament. Yes, you heard that correctly. While he had a full four months to prepare for the tournament, Spieth practiced with his usual clubs only to run into a problem just a couple of days before the Sony Open.
He picked as many as five 3-irons and brought all of them to Hawaii. With all of his irons giving him a good vibe, Spieth was confused about which one to choose. Notably, right at the last moment, Spieth picked up a random club. However, he ended up regretting his choice as the two and a half shots he made with it did not work out.
Revealing his plans with the club for the future, the PGA Tour pro said, “And so then I got to pick one, and it just — I just haven’t been playing with it, so I think I’m going to just go back to the hybrid.”
Meanwhile, as the story went out in public, fans shared their reactions to this insane story.
