Spieth announces birth of first son Sammy

Jordan Spieth and wife, Annie, have announced the birth of their first child, Sammy. The news, which was posted on Spieth’s social media, might have come as a surprise to some with the couple managing to keep the pregnancy private until recently.

“Sammy Spieth born 11/14. Mama and baby doing great! Feeling blessed!” tweeted Spieth.

It’s already been a heck of year for three-time major winner, Jordan Spieth. The 28-year-old returned to the winner’s circle for the first time in four years at the Valero Texas Open and went close to his second Masters title a week later finishing in third place.

He also recorded an outright second place behind Collin Morikawa at the Open Championship along with a runner-up finish at the Charles Schwab Challenge again in Texas in May.

Spieth’s return to form saw him move from outside the world’s top-90 to back inside the top-10.
