Jordan Spieth’s crucial tip for amateur golfers on how to avoid three-putting from long distance
Jordan Spieth has already achieved plenty on the PGA Tour, and he’ll be hoping there’s still more to come from his career.
A former World No. 1, Spieth won three majors between 2015 and 2017 – titles that made him one of the game’s biggest stars almost overnight.
The PGA Championship is the only major that’s eluded him so far, though he has 13 career wins on the PGA Tour overall.
Spieth’s last victory came at the RBC Heritage in 2022, and injuries have slowed him down more recently.
He withdrew from the Travelers Championship last month – the first withdrawal of his career.
Even so, before his injury, Spieth was showing encouraging signs. He managed four top-10 finishes this season, despite his putting still being very much a work in progress – something he discussed with MentalityGolf back in 2023.
Jordan Spieth’s putting tip to help amateurs stop three putting
He explained how he approaches lag putting: “Speed putting is extremely important. When we are presented with a putt like this which is about 50 feet up a ridge, it is vital you can get it in two shots.
“The most important thing here is not trying to figure out the technique or the line. It’s about finding the speed.
“I like to walk along the entire length of the putt, along the low side to the back side of the hole and I’ll walk back along the low side.
“What I’ll see is that there are two ridges here that I have to go up and then it is flat at the hole. Now I am dialed into essentially what I am trying to do is hit a flat putt about 10 feet beyond the hole.
“I am finding a midpoint in my line, it is just kind of a vague spot that I am aimed at, but most importantly I am dealing in a speed to where I am trying to get it anywhere within a three-foot circle of that hole.
“So I am standing back and what I like to do is take practice strokes while I look at the hole, and that kind of gets me dialed in with the speed, so I am looking at this putt and in the back of my mind I’m saying this is about as hard as I need to hit it.
“Then I am stepping back, picking my spot, step back over it and get into my basic position and feel the speed.”
Jordan Spieth’s PGA Tour putting stats in 2025
While injury has limited Spieth’s appearances this season, he remains positive about his progress. Here’s a look at his key putting statistics for the 2025 PGA Tour season:
Claiming a 14th PGA Tour title appears unlikely for now, yet the golfer from Dallas, Texas, has plenty of reasons to be encouraged by his recent form after battling through injury setbacks.

Djokovic learns fate in new home as Sabalenka addresses behaviour
Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.
We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.
Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.
