Jordan Spieth lauded the impressive performance of the current World No. 1, Scottie Scheffler at the ongoing 2025 Memorial Tournament. The three-time major winner jumped up three spots on the leaderboard to take the lead after the third round of the signature PGA Tour event and is in contention to win the tournament.
Scheffler continued to dominate in 2025 after his highly impressive season in 2024, where he won seven tournaments and recorded two runner-up finishes. This season on the PGA Tour, he has already won two events so far, and is in contention for another title this week.
In the post-round press conference of the Memorial Tournament, Jordan Spieth candidly reflected on Scottie Scheffler's game and called it an "elite consistency."
"There's a shot in and the worst he's going to do is 15 feet, and most guys are going to hit a good there, but for him that was, like, the worst shot he probably -- he's probably, like, all right, yeah, I played that safe and cast a putt out and go to tomorrow. So it's elite consistency and it's because of his tempo and club face control yields these kind of results," Spieth said (via ASAP Sports):
Meanwhile, Jordan Spieth is also having a decent outing this week at the Memorial Tournament. He will tee off for the final round five strokes behind the third-round leader and has a good chance to win $4 million in prize money.

"Today, I felt like I was in the mix on the weekend in pretty much a major championship, a top-5, top-8 tournament that we play in the world. So that was fun. "
