Spieth also seems to have some interesting takes on Riviera. ” Precision is so key, but being smart and recognizing when even being precise still won’t work out,” Spieth said.

He added that it is indeed a rare week for players, as you cannot just fire at the flagsticks. “And it’s such a different experience from what we normally have on tour, where you’re use to 20-, 25- under winning, where you get away with short-siding yourself because guys’ short games are so good. But here, it just doesn’t happen”.
