Jordan Spieth’s incredible coincidence of wins on Easter
Jordan Spieth has 13 PGA Tour wins in his career so far. However, there is an incredible coincidence between Spieth and Easter. Out of his 13 victories, two wins have come on Easter. He won the 2022 RBC Heritage yesterday, which was Easter Sunday. Moreover, the previous year, Spieth won the 2021 Texas Open on Easter Sunday as well.
It is interesting to note that next year’s Easter will be celebrated during the final round of the Masters. Surely, he will be hopeful of carrying on the tradition of winning a golf tournament on Easter Sunday, next year as well.
