SYDNEY, Australia (AP) — Jordan Spieth is returning to the Australian Open on November 23-26 at The Australian Golf Club in an attempt to win the Stonehaven Cup for the third time in four years.
Golf Australia made the announcement.
The 23-year-old Spieth won the Australian Open at The Australian in 2014 with a 63 on the final day. He narrowly missed a playoff at the same venue in 2015 when he finished tied for second with Adam Scott, a shot behind Matt Jones.
He won the Australian Open last year at Royal Sydney after a three-way playoff.
Spieth credited his win at The Australian in 2014 with giving him confidence for a stellar 2015, which included wins at the Masters and U.S. Open and a rise to No. 1 in the rankings.
