Joe Highsmith, a 24-year-old golfer, finally won this tournament, surprising golf fans as well as players.
Jordan Spieth's return after injury will be challenging, but judging by his performances so far, the experienced golfer is well on his way to returning to his former form. The American golfer admitted after the last round that he feels great, proud of his good performance and his great rhythm.
I really do feel like Im playing good golf at about 60 percent of the control tee to green that Im capable of doing and still able to come to a very challenging golf course and hit nice shots and shoot under-par rounds. Im one swing away on Friday from having a chance to win, and that was a 9-iron, which is just a 1-in-100 kind of chunk, Spieth said, as quoted by The Golfing Gazette.

Jordan Spieth: Im bummed not to be there next week
Playing important tournaments sometimes means making a mistake when you least should, but that's all part of the sport. Looking back on the future and the next challenges, Spieth emphasizes that it is important to be patient, but he also shares his frustrations considering that he will not perform at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, especially because he played so well there.
However, Jordan does not blame anyone, aware that he could have played better last year
I feel really good. The Players, Ive got to be more patient than I have in other years, and then Tampa will be good.
Im bummed not to be there next week. Its been a great, great place for me, and I really wish I was getting that start, but I needed to play better injured golf last year, I guess.- he concluded.
