What They're Saying

Troy Merritt (via ESPN): "Took care of two firsts the past two weeks. Got my first win and shot my first round in 80s on Tour. Golf is a funny game. I just haven't slept very well. It's been a long couple of days answering all the messages and hearing and seeing the outpouring of all the well wishes from friends, families, fans."

Jordan Spieth

It had been two weeks before Spieth last saw the golf course, finishing fourth at St. Andrews and one shot out of the playoff won by Zach Johnson.

The two-time major champion made just two birdies and finished five strokes off Lee's pace. Despite that, Spieth is confident he has the mental fortitude to persevere.

"I can find out the tendencies, good and bad, that are in my game at that time when the pressure's on," he said, per PGATour.com. "That's when your muscles are twitching a little different, your mind's wandering."
