Spieth: "I’m beating myself up a little bit too much on the golf course and it’s affecting me"

Jim McCabe at Golfweek.com on the 2016 Players Championship missed cut by Jordan Spieth, who was his usual brutally honest self.

“I just think that, you know, I’m beating myself up a little bit too much on the golf course and it’s affecting me and I realize that now,” Spieth said after 72-71 produced his second missed cut in 10 tournaments this season.

Brian Wacker noted this for GolfDigest.com.

Spieth took 59 putts over two days, twice three-putting, and ranked 122nd in strokes gained putting.

It would be easy to pin the poor performance as a Masters hangover but the 22-year-old world No. 3 insists that’s not the case.
