Jordan Spieth hasn’t won a championship title since the 2021 Valero Texas Championship. While he struggles to get good outcomes as a pro golfer, he is having a more difficult time being a new father. Or at least that’s what the former professional golfer Paige Spiranac thought after seeing his family picture.

“Did you see that the picture of Jordan Spieth holding his child, though? On Instagram?” Spiranac asked the golf analyst Amanda Rose on her podcast ‘Playing a Round with Paige Renee.’ “Like he has never held a baby before.”

Generally, the golfer always plays his best golf at the Masters. In his 8 starts before 2022, Spieth not only has won once but has finished under the Top 10 five times. Moreover, he also has made the cut every time. However, he lost his streak. 

Spieth scored an overall score of 6-over par at the 2022 Masters. He missed the cutline by two strokes.
