Spieth in good place at PGA as he takes long view of career

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. (AP) — Jordan Spieth remembers being in a bad place mentally the last time the PGA Championship was at Kiawah Island. It’s worth noting he wasn’t even there. He was a 19-year-old trying to decide whether to turn pro or go back to college. That feels longer than almost nine years ago. Since then, he’s gone through a meteoric rise and a shocking slump. Spieth prefers to look at the big picture. He’s accomplished plenty in eight years. He’d take another eight just like it, especially if that includes a PGA Championship. It’s all he needs for the career Grand Slam.
