Jordan Spieth's mental toughness has shades of Michael Jordan - New York Post

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Once upon a time, Jordan Spieth’s father delivered a bulletin to his favorite all-time athlete, Michael Jordan, that caught the legend by surprise.

They met for the first time at the 2014 Ryder Cup in Scotland, where Shawn Spieth told Jordan that he had named his son after him.

“It was surreal to see the look on Michael’s face,” said Jordan Spieth’s dad.

“But that was the look on his face,” said Shawn Spieth.

Six months later, Jordan Spieth won the Masters by tying Tiger Woods’ record of 18-under, surely securing Air Jordan’s unchallenged respect forevermore.
