On Jordan Spieth cracking the face of his driver on Wednesday
David Duval – “I don’t believe it is as tough of an adjustment as it would have been 15 or 20 years ago…Certainly it is a little unsettling because it is a dear old friend that is broken now and gone. And we all like to stick with what works, and obviously it worked quite beautifully for a number of years. If it was a fixed shaft glued in, that would be a little more concerning to me.”
Brandel Chamblee – “It’s not ideal by any stretch of the imagination. Sometimes you end up with a driver that you think for whatever reason is better than what you had before. Sometimes you are forced to change and you end up with something you didn’t know existed.”
Chamblee – “It’s not the best of news, but it’s not a big deal.”
Frank Nobilo – “David [Duval] hit the nail on the head. 15 years ago it was a big deal.”
Duval – “It is not that big of a deal now.”
Arron Oberholser – “I don’t think this is going to be an issue for Jordan. All of the hubbub we saw with Cameron McCormick on the range with trackman, they were making sure that everything was going to be as good as it possibly could be…Jordan Spieth wasn’t leaving that range until those numbers were right.”
Jim Gallagher, Jr. – “It’s all about feel and trust. He just has to trust it. He wasn’t leaving the range until he truly trusted the driver.”
