Jordan Spieth tried hard to climb up the ladder. Playing at the PGA Tour course closest to his home, the Dallas citizen was eager to be the hometown hero and win the 2025 CJ Cup Byron Nelson. He put in a valiant effort in the final round to go 9-under par 62. However, he was still far off from another pro from his city, Scottie Scheffler. The world no. 1 managed a 31-under-par 253 to win his first PGA Tour title for 2025. With that, he not only became the hero of Dallas but also matched Spieth’s close friend, Justin Thomas’ course record after 72 holes.
When interviewed, the 3-time major winner admitted that Scheffler is better than him. He said, “It wasn’t that long ago that I was DEFINITELY better than him. And I’m DEFINITELY not right now.” After winning the 2025 CJ Cup Byron Nelson, Scheffler also left a message for Spieth in the post-tournament Press Conference. He was asked, “Are you going to give Jordan grief about winning this tournament before he did, or are you going to go easy on him?” Confident after winning in a convincing fashion, the world no. 1 calmly replied, “I think I’ll take it easy on him.”
