Wonder if Jordan Spieth will vote for the Hair cause when he was 15 he was so enthused with him......

At 15 years old, Jordan Spieth could hardly believe the "great" Donald Trump was supporting him as he chased his dream.

In 2009, Spieth won the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship with Trump looking on. The young golfer revealed during his post-tournament interview that Trump had nothing but kind words to say to him after the victory.

The two, of course, have found themselves in the spotlight this year. Trump is currently campaigning for president, and Spieth is dominating the golf world. It will be interesting to see if Spieth returns the love and supports Trump if the 69-year-old wins the Republican candidacy.

but Spieth hits nearly every demographic statistic of being a Republican. I can only hope that some liberal qualities of being a student at UT-Austin impacted him in some manner.

They think they got where they are by the whole "bootstrap" thing and consider themselves entrepreneurs.

No matter that >half grew up on country clubs and went to college for free. Another bunch of buffoons who were born on second base.
