The AT&T Byron Nelson concluded on Sunday after four days of grand action. The tournament’s new venue saw everything over the weekend: from low-scoring rounds to treacherous rain, everything added to the drama. As for Jordan Spieth, he was unable to win the event but announced his return to “tournament golf” with a solid performance.

Spieth began his AT&T Byron Nelson 2021 campaign by sharing the lead after 18-holes. He, however, could not sustain his good touch with the putter in Round 2 and shot a 2-under 70. But Spieth was roared on by his hometown crowd at TPC Craig Ranch and the three-time major winner just had to deliver.

Jordan Spieth has won every major tournament on the tour calendar except the PGA Championship. If he wins the latter, Spieth could become one among the handful of players who’ve achieved the career-slam.

“I guess I got back into tournament golf. Played well, hit a lot of good shots. You know, rusty mistakes here and there, and then I just didn’t putt as well as I would like to. So stroke was a little off to start, and I’ll work on that for next week for sure,” Spieth said when asked about the PGA Championship.
