Jordan Spieth will be returning on the greens at the Valero Texas Open as the former champion. But what also returns is his larger-than-life gesture from 2021, the same year he won the Texas Open. The PGA Tour shared the snippets from their interaction and took us back on the route down memory lane when Spieth fulfilled a fan’s dream.

In 2021, Kendall Ramos was diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma, which resulted in her femur being amputated. Ramos had to learn how to walk again with the amputation and during that period, she grew an interest in golf. She wanted to learn the new skill and as her favorite golfer, who could be better than Spieth to teach her? The PGA Tour shared the video from three years ago on Instagram and how Ramos met with the pro at Shadows Creek, making it a day she’ll never forget.

The 3-time major winner taught the 14-year-old how to shoot and by the third time, she made immense progress. During the session, Spieth also encouraged her to pursue golf at the University of Texas. He said, “As you keep getting better, you need to visit the University of Texas because I wanna see you playing golf for them some day now.”
