Although optimistic messages circulated after the confirmation that Jordan Spieth will perform at the Cognizant Classic this week, a dose of fear once again appeared among fans of the American golfer. Namely, the well-known face of the golf scene gave an update regarding the injury during the press conference, stressing that he still has problems with his wrist, feeling pain.

Spieth, of course, wants to be completely healthy, considering that this kind of injury can stand in the way of his success, not only in this tournament.
Jordan hasn't played much since surgery last summer, and this is his fourth post-surgery appearance.
"I don't enjoy the way it feels waking up," Spieth said, as quoted by The Bellingham Herald.
"And if it's every day, it's O.K. by the time I play, but it's not ideal because I would like to be able to feel pretty good in all conditions, and it wasn't that way on the West Coast."
Jordan Spieth explains his situation
Injuries are always a big mystery: One moment you can feel great, while the next moment you are in immense pain. In such situations, it is difficult not to be frustrated and disappointed, but before that it is important to be optimistic.

The experienced golfer admitted that he has different days, in which sometimes he feels pain, and sometimes not. Spieth emphasized that he tries to find a balance, aware that if he trains too much, it can create additional problems for him.
"I'm just trying to find the right balance of rest and playing," he said, "because it's not-I rested it for six days straight last week, and I came back, and it was way worse the first day. It was 25 degrees, and I was hitting off a mat. But it was still worse," he added, "as in-you know, putting some force into it since it's healed can sometimes actually loosen it up, can make it better. So it's trying to find that right balance on these full days. It was a lot easier when it was on a smaller ball count and you could take the time to mess with different options."
