Jordan Spieth feels ‘two swings away’ from ending three-year wait after family news

Published

on

Jordan Spieth arrived at The Open Championship on Monday after the birth of his third child, and the triple major champion is eager to crown the moment with a return to the winners’ circle

Jordan Spieth believes he has been just “two swings away from winning” this season as he hopes to end his long wait for a victory at The Open Championship.

Spieth, the 2017 Open Champion, has not tasted victory in more than three years, a period which has been hugely challenging due to a wrist injury. Those issues are in the rear-view mirror after a surgery at the end of last season, and the 31-year-old is desperate to get back to the kind of form that made him a triple major champion.

Spieth has had an up-and-down season and he fears for his Ryder Cup chances, but he has had chances to win, with four top-10 finishes to his name, but after getting into contention, he has been unable to get over the line.

Spieth’s preparation for the event was interrupted first by an minor muscle issue that forced him to withdraw during the first round at the Travelers Championship four weeks ago, followed by the birth of his third child, Sully, last week. Nonetheless, his confidence in his swing is high, and he believes he is only a few more holed putts away from winning again.

“I’ve been playing well, and I feel like every month, things are more consistent, so hopefully that continues here,” he told Mirror Sports US.

“As far as like the mechanics and the structure and stuff, I’m able to do things that I hadn’t done this well in a while and it’s just putting it together.

“It’s just I’m two swings away from winning, and I finished seventh or something like that, but there’s, like, two holes that were just random one-off things, and honestly, it’s just been knocking in enough putts.

“But I did a lot of work in my putting because, even if I couldn’t swing a bunch the first of the weeks that I was home, I’ve been doing a lot of work in the putting, so hopefully I start to see that pay off because the stroke’s been good, it’s just finding the bottom.”

Spieth has incredible memories of The Open, winning the Claret Jug in stunning style at Royal Birkdale eight years ago. Those memories come flooding back when he sees his picture holding the trophy on the big screen.

The Open returns to Birkdale next year, but Spieth is intent on making new memories rather than just relying on the moments of magic he has already produced.

“It’s great to be back, I mean, this is the only tournament that does it like that. They flash the scoreboards of the past winners and stuff and, obviously, it brings good memories.

“Next year will be really fun to relive kind of the memories going back to Birkdale, but here I’d love to create more. I mean, I don’t like that it was a long time ago, I’d like something more recent.”

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.

Tennis fans across the globe are rallying behind Holger Rune, after the Danish star shared an emotional but determined message following his devastating Achilles injury that abruptly ended his 2025 season.

The 22-year-old, known for his fierce competitiveness and electric energy on court, was forced to retire during the Stockholm Open semifinals after collapsing in pain mid-match against Ugo Humbert. Moments later, Rune confirmed what fans feared — a torn Achilles tendon, one of the toughest injuries any athlete can face.

But instead of silence or despair, Rune chose to face the challenge head-on. In a heartfelt message posted to social media, he wrote:

“It’s gonna be a while before I can step on court again… It’s tough. I had so much joy out there, and it’s unbearable to think I won’t feel that energy for some time. But I’ll be back — stronger, wiser, and more grateful than ever.”

His words, filled with pain yet overflowing with resilience, immediately resonated with millions. Fellow players, coaches, and fans flooded his post with encouragement, calling him a “fighter”, a “true champion in spirit”, and the embodiment of perseverance.

Rune has already undergone successful surgery and, in a move that stunned many, shared photos of himself training from a seated position — refusing to let recovery stop his momentum. The images showed a young man focused not on what he’s lost, but on what he can rebuild.

Even as he faces months of rehabilitation, Rune’s story has become a symbol of mental toughness and grace under pressure. His family and team remain by his side, reminding the tennis world that this setback doesn’t define his career — it refines it.

As one fan beautifully wrote:

“He may be off the court, but his spirit is still winning matches.”

For Holger Rune, this isn’t the end of a season — it’s the start of a comeback story that could inspire a generation. 💥🔥
