Colt Knost believes that Jordan Spieth would benefit from adopting his approach to the recovery shots he needs to hit with his full swing after another year to forget on the PGA Tour. <\/p>\n

Few would have imagined that Spieth would end the season without a single top-10 on the PGA Tour. The Texan failed to make it past the first FedEx Cup playoff event for the third year in a row. <\/p>\n

Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy have won five majors between them since the last time Spieth finished one of the four biggest events of the year inside the top-10. Meanwhile, his most recent victory came back in 2022. <\/p>\n

Spieth had been dealing with a wrist injury for a long time, and it did appear that the 2025 season was a tentative step in the right direction after he had got the problem dealt with once and for all. However, this year has been underwhelming, with the 33-year-old not even in the conversation to be an outside pick to make the Presidents Cup team. <\/p>\n

Colt Knost calls for Jordan Spieth to be more of an artist<\/p>\n

Some of those around the PGA Tour<\/a> seemingly hope that there is still an opportunity for Spieth to rediscover some better form. But he will have to be willing to change his approach. <\/p>\n

Speaking on Fried Egg Golf<\/a>, Colt Knost called for Spieth to play a much more natural game given what he is capable of when he needs to get himself out of a terrible position. <\/p>\n

\u201cDisappointing? I\u2019m going to say Jordan Spieth<\/a> once again. I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on. I know he had the injury. He just cannot put it together. To not have any top-10s when you\u2019re Jordan Spieth for the season on the PGA Tour is just shocking to me,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

What’s the longest time it should take to play 18 holes? <\/p>\n

Rounds at the Irish Open have taken MORE THAN SIX HOURS this week!<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought this was really going to be a big year for Jordan because he was finally healthy, but the ball-striking just hasn\u2019t been what it is. I know the putter normally goes with age, which I would love for someone to do a study on that and really figure out why we start freaking out the older we get over short putts. I know how good Jordan Spieth is, we all do. There\u2019s a reason he was called the golden child early in his career, and won so many majors so fast, but it just drives me nuts not seeing him in contention more often. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt just amazes me when he gets in trouble, which he does a lot off the tee, there\u2019s no swing thoughts, and he hits some of the miraculous shots of anybody on the planet. It\u2019s Seve-like. But there\u2019s no thought. He\u2019s just an artist. He\u2019s always been an artist. <\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why he putts the greens of Augusta National so well. He got locked in there for several years with the green reading books, and I\u2019m like, \u2018dude, the best you putt all year is at Augusta National, and they don\u2019t have them or allow them there. You just let the artist come out in you\u2019. And I wish he would do that with the full swing more often.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jordan Spieth has been encouraged to speak with a different coach<\/p>\n

Spieth has seemingly kept the majority of the same team around him throughout his career. He continues to have Michael Greller on the bag, while Cameron McCormick has been his coach for more than two decades. <\/p>\n

Plenty of players have benefitted from changing coaches over the years. And while Knost does not necessarily think that Spieth needs to go that far, he does believe that there is a need for a fresh voice. <\/p>\n

\u201cHim and Cameron McCormick have been great together. He\u2019s been with him forever, but at some point, and this is not disrespecting Cameron, this is just I want to see what Jordan Spieth can do because I know it\u2019s in there, maybe go get a second opinion on the golf swing. Take Cameron with you, and let\u2019s just spend a couple of hours with somebody else and see if maybe something they say hits different and comes through, and they find something that can get Jordan Spieth back to the ball-striker he was,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

It is hard to imagine Spieth\u2019s playing style changing any time soon. He has changed so little over the years, and if he feels that he is close to finding something, then he is unlikely to deviate from his current path. <\/p>\n

As Knost notes, that is frustrating for fans of his, because the belief in Spieth\u2019s powers is waning fast. It should not be forgotten that next year will mark 10 years since his most recent major victory. <\/p>\n
