Jordan Spieth returns to Royal Birkdale looking for the magic that made him a British Open champion

  • Jordan Spieth returns to Royal Birkdale for the 154th Open Championship, seeking to end a nine-year drought at golf's oldest major championship on the site of his 2017 triumph.
  • Nine years ago, the then-23-year-old won his third major at Royal Birkdale, marking a career pinnacle. Since that victory, Spieth has struggled with injuries and inconsistent form, capturing only two professional tournament wins.
  • Changing conditions present a different test this week, with the course now firm and brittle compared to 2017's lush setup. Spieth noted the wind shift, saying, "It's going to play quite different than the last time we were here."
  • Frustrated by recent results, the 32-year-old arrives with strong ball-striking but has not won a major since 2017. "I'm quite frustrated with the results considering I know where my game is at," Spieth said.
  • Refusing to accept his best golf is behind him, the former world number one remains determined to reach his ceiling. "If you give up on reaching your ceiling, then I don't see a point in playing anymore," Spieth said.
