Jordan Spieth is better at handling the tricky layout at Muirfield than he is post-round interviews.
The 19-year-old Texas native talkes with ESPN’s Tom Rinaldi on Thursday after finishing a strong first round of 2-under par in his first British Open. After the brief interview, Spieth extended his hand but found no counter courtesy, awkwardly left dangling by Rinaldi.
Spieth joked about the mix-up on Twitter.
Rinaldi needs to get a grip!! Don't leave me hangin next time bud.. https://t.co/lXBp6LocKc
