IRVING, Texas — Jordan Spieth did something Tiger Woods couldn’t do. And Spieth’s pal Tony Romo showed up to watch.
Who the heck is this guy?
Spieth is a 16-year-old high school junior from Dallas who cut class to play in the Byron Nelson Championship, becoming the first prep athlete to take on the pros in this event since Woods in 1993. The difference? Spieth made the cut, Woods did not.
Spieth has handled his nerves and the TPC Four Seasons course nicely, shooting a 3-under 137 through two rounds to become the sixth-youngest player to make the cut at a PGA Tour event.
