Jordan Spieth's dream season continues with trip back to alma mater
If Jordan Spieth hadn't turned pro when he was 19, he would have just graduated from the University of Texas a few months ago. Instead, he returned to his alma mater a few years after that smart decision already a conquering hero of the sports world.
Spieth appeared on the Longhorn Network's "Texas Gameday":
