Spieth spoke to Tom Werme about what he was contemplating while Cantlay was going to make his putt in the playoff. Jordan said, “I honestly was just thinking don’t do this to me, Patrick, you know, 35 feet away. There’s very a few people that if you needed someone to make a 35-footer, he’s on the shortlist. So I just thought, just come on, Patrick. Not this time. So again, he got unlucky there and I know you know, in regulation, he had good look too.”

He added, “So this one you know, there’s a number of them where you think you should have won and someone outplays you this one was one I kind of squeaked through.”
