Longhorn fans show support for Jordan Spieth
University of Texas fan Chance Steward, of Fort Worth, was eager to get home to celebrate Jordan Spieth’s success at the Masters Tournament.
“There will be a lot of fanfare and a lot of recognition,” Steward said. “He’s pretty well received, anyway.”
Steward’s son is a student at the University of Texas, where Spieth played golf before turning pro in 2012.
Steward, who wore a Longhorns hat, said it was an exciting week watching Spieth and fellow Texan Ben Crenshaw, who played his last competitive round in the Masters on Friday.
Longhorn fans were seen throughout the course Sunday. Steward said he could sense the camaraderie among Texas fans rooting for Spieth.
“It’s been a lot of positive support for him (here) and back home, too,” he said.
