Spieth On Trinity Forest's Debut, Possible Schedule Landing Spot
/Jordan Spieth's assessment of his home club Trinity Forest upon posting a -11, T21 effort suggests he saw some reporting of highly critical comments. Perhaps he's referring to Matt Kuchar longing for TPC Las Colinas?
Either way, all of his assessments are worth a read if you are into this kind of (architecture) thing.
Q. Lot of questions about Trinity Forest going into this week. What do you think was accomplished in this tournament?
JORDAN SPIETH: I think -- I think it was a really positive outcome for the golf course and the tournament here and I say that partly because it really was but also because a year back when the caddy event was here and other players came and played it it wasn't playing the way it's intended to play. It was too new, wasn't ready yet and got some really bad reviews.
I think compared to the initial reviews what I heard this week, and I know it's been reported differently, I was talking to all the players, I asked a lot of guys, I didn't hear one bad thing said.
A lot of guys said, "It's grown on me day to day, I really enjoyed it as a change of pace, I had a lot of fun playing this golf course." Those were lines guys were using this week and shouldn't be reported any differently.
It was an overwhelmingly positive outlook from the players that played. I think as the greens continue to fill in and mature, they'll only be more consistent and the course gets better.
He was asked about next year and suggested the schedule landing spot is still up in the air:
Q. (Inaudible)
JORDAN SPIETH: I think it's going to -- it's a totally different schedule next year and this will be a completely -- I mean it could be a similar time, it could be a different time of the year within a month or two, and I think it will depend on what tournaments it's near.
Changing golf courses around a Players Championship, the Colonial, that's very popular, Muirfield, U.S. Open, this allows for a week off with the unknowns and it makes total sense for guys to skip.
I think having seen the coverage and listening to what I was talking about the other players saying, I mean if it becomes a week before a Major or at least in a better time in the schedule, then the field will drastically change. Otherwise it will get a little bit better.
It's a shame Dallas turns so miserably hot, but a post-U.S. Open playing in the last week of June or first week of July and serving as Open Championship preparation and Open Qualifying Series would be a great spot for Trinity Forest.
