The final major of the 2023 season is in its final leg with the fourth round about to commence. It is creating a lot of buzz and spark amongst the fans. Many big names such as Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, and others failed to make the cut. But many expected names did make the cut, and one of those players was Jordan Spieth. Apart from his performance, Spieth gathered attention on the course for different reasons.
Usually, there is a very specific kind of attire that golfers wear on the course, especially while competing in major tournaments. But, recently, Speith wore something off the books, and well, the golf world had some thoughts about it.
