Jordan Spieth hopes coronavirus break will jump start his game

The Hindu  

Jordan Spieth said he hopes the work he put in during the three-month suspension of the PGA Tour due to the coronavirus outbreak will help the former world number one rediscover his form when he tees it up at the Colonial Country Club on Thursday. The 26-year-old American, who fell out of the top 50 in January for the first time since 2013, said he treated the break as an “off-season” and used it to improve his physical and mental conditioning after disappointing results in the first five tournaments he played in this year. “I looked at it as a big-time opportunity for myself and didn't take it lightly,” said Spieth, who has 11 career wins on the PGA Tour including three major championships. Brutally hot weather is in the forecast for Colonial, which will host the first PGA Tour event since the Players Championship was halted in mid-March due to the pandemic.
