The moderator then asked the golfer about the state of his game heading into the week. To this, the 30-year-old responded by stating that he wanted to hit the reset button and, thus, took more days off to clear his mind a bit.
Lastly, Spieth spoke about his left wrist injury and disclosed how he is undergoing different things to help treat the symptoms.
“It’s a lot of managing it. I’m kind of doing a couple of different things to help treat the symptoms that I experience and to not have kind of some reoccurring problems that have happened. So I’m doing a lot of stuff off the course. Physical Therapy side, whether it’s treating tendon to treating the nerve in general. And I think that’s helping.”
The golfer has been successful in earning three top-10 finishes this season. However, he faced a setback at the Masters tournament, as he failed to make the cut. The PGA Tour pro opened up about this setback during the same press conference.

So there’s just two holes where you know a little bit of I didn’t I didn’t quite have it tight enough in my game to maybe made a little bit too aggressive of a decision around the greens a little combination of both.”
