Jordan Speith was born on July 27th, 1993. His parents are Chris and Shawn Speith. He has two younger siblings Steven and Ellie. Jordan was born in Dallas, Texas. He still lives in Dallas today. He went to the University of Texas for college. He turned pro in 2012. Jordan Speith is my favorite golfer because he has a cool attitude on the golf course. It is natural to get mad after hitting a bad shot but he never gets mad. Sometimes he gets upset with his shots but he still keeps his head in the game and finishes the round strong. Since turning pro in 2012 he has won 6 tournaments and has made $20,476,933. He won the 2015 Valspar Championship, the 2015 Masters Tournament, the 2015 U.S. Open the 2015 John Deere Classic, the 2015 Tour Championship by Coca-Cola, and the 2013 John Deere Classic. Jordan had a chance to win a grand slam. Arguably the greatest accomplishment in PGA Tour golf. To win a grand slam you have to win all four majors in one year. Only five players have done this in PGA history. Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods are the only ones to ever do this. Those are some of the greatest golfers in the history of golf. To get your name on that list would be a great honor. Right now he is in second place in his first tournament of the year. He is only one shot from the leader. Patrick Reed is winning with a score of 8 under par.
