Jordan Spieth shares injury scare after the WM Phoenix Open 2025 opening round

Jordan Spieth discussed his injury scare during the post-round conference at the WM Phoenix Open. The American golfer is participating in the TPC Scottsdale tournament, which is being held from February 6 to February 9.

After the first round, he was settled at T16 with 3-under and discussed an injury scare he faced last week at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

Speaking in the post-round press conference, Spieth talked about his wrist, explaining how his left wrist wasn't moving well and restricted his movements, prompting him to head into this tournament with low expectations.

“I was in a bunker on Spyglass No. 1, my 10th hole, and I had to flick one and it jammed it pretty good, and it locked up on me for a little while," Spieth said (via ASAP Sport). "Yeah, when it's not moving well, for me, I've got a lot of lean and a lot of left hand involved, and if it's not leaning, it's going to go pretty far off line...my expectations are low.”

Expressing hope for better performances in the coming rounds, he added:

“Having said that, I know where I was today, and I know that I can do better than I did today. If I can try to post a few scores at or better than today, then you never know, I start getting back in the mix and it becomes pretty fun and hopefully more consistent.”

The first round of the Waste Management Phoenix Open was suspended due to darkness on Thursday, with the remaining golfers expected to complete their round on Friday at 8:15 AM ET.
