With the U.S. Open set to begin in roughly 24 hours, three-time major champion Jordan Spieth is currently nursing an illness.
Spieth’s agent, Jay Danzi, revealed that his client is dealing with a strong stomach bug this Wednesday. That’s why he left Brookline earlier than expected earlier than expected.
On the bright side, Spieth is apparently rested and rehydrated. As a result, he plans on teeing off this Thursday for the opening round of the U.S. Open.
Once this news went public, the golf world all thought the same thing: Spieth has a chance to create his own “Flu Game” this weekend.
Of course, Spieth’s status for the opening round can change at any moment.
For now though, he’s expected to tee off at 7:29 a.m. ET with Max Homa and Adam Scott.
NBC and USA Network will broadcast the first round of the U.S. Open.
