Newcastle's European hopes take another hit with Bournemouth defeat
Newcastle's hopes for Europe take a blow with 2-1 loss to Bournemouth.
Jordan Spieth, the 2015 U.S. Open champion, has made a decision reflecting his decline in performance. Once a top contender, he now faces challenges in reclaiming his former status.

Jordan Spieth won The U.S. Open at Chambers Bay way back in 2015.
Spieth defeated Dustin Johnson and Louis Oosthuizen by one stroke to win The U.S. Open, his second major championship victory in a row, after finishing up at five-under par around
Incredibly, the 32-year-old missed out on winning the calendar year Grand Slam but just four strokes that year.

He went on to win The Open two years later in 2017 but has been without a major victory ever since then.
The 13-time PGA Tour winner has regressed badly over the past few years and has not won on the PGA Tour since April 2022.
Spieth’s fall from grace has been a ‘tragedy’ to witness, with Gary Player suggesting that the three-time major champion has been a victim of poor coaching.
He has tumbled outside of the top 50 in the world rankings, and has been a complete shadow of his former self for quite some time now.

Spieth has gone through U.S. Open qualifying before: in 2012, 2013 and 2014.
And he will be doing the same this year after his 10-year exemption for winning the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay 11 years ago expired after the 2025 edition of the championship at Oakmont.
Interestingly, Spieth has a really poor U.S Open record.
Aside from his win in 2015, the 32-year-old from Dallas, Texas, does not have a single top-10 finish to his name.
Spieth’s best U.S. Open finish, not including his win of course, came in 2014 when he ended up in a tie for 17th at Pinehurst.
He has also missed four cuts in 14 appearances in his National Open.
Jordan Spieth has now been forced into having to qualify for the U.S. Open this year due to his poor run of form over the past few years.
And in fairness to him, he deserves huge credit for not feeling like that is beneath him.
