Jordan Spieth confirms birth of third child on eve of The Open

Jordan Spieth has confirmed his wife Annie has given birth to their third child. 

Spieth announced the news with an Instagram post on Sunday afternoon, a week before The Open at Royal Portrush. 

The American PGA Tour star, 31, married his high school sweetheart in 2018. 

Their first child, Sammy, was born on 14 November 2021 and the couple welcomed daughter Sophie two years later. 

Spieth confirmed their latest addition to the family is a little boy named Sully. 

"We added a new member to the foursome," he wrote. 

Jordan Spieth heads to The Open with Ryder Cup fate in the balance

Spieth will be making his 12th appearance at The Open Championship next week. 

The final men's major of the year gets underway on Thursday at Royal Portrush. 

Spieth hasn't tasted victory on the PGA Tour since the 2023 RBC Heritage but will be relishing the challenge. 

He won the 146th Open at Royal Birkdale in remarkable fashion, pipping Matt Kuchar to the Claret Jug after an epic battle over the Southport links in 2017.  

Spieth hasn't won a major championship since. 

He recently was forced to withdraw from his first PGA Tour event in 297 starts at the Travelers Championship. 

Spieth confirmed last week that the injury was 'just a weird neck spasm' that flared up and is playing without any restrictions. 

He needs a big result to climb the US Ryder Cup standings. 

The three-time major champion is currently 25th in the rankings.
