LA Times — By the time young pro Jordan Spieth is able to legally buy a beer, he might be able to buy the whole beer company.
Spieth will turn 20 on July 27, giving him another year (before he can sidle up to the bar) to work on a bank account that has already grown incredibly.
He is the Dallas golfer who left the University of Texas in December to join the pro tour. There are good decisions and great decisions. Judging by current events, that Texas degree can wait.
He already had made some money, thanks to several tournament exemption entries and successes, when he walked into a sand trap late Sunday at the John Deere Open in Silvis, Ill., with one hope of getting into a playoff for the title. He had to chip in.
Spieth didn't just chip in. He hit the flagstick and watched as the ball slithered directly down and into the cup.
