"Spreading the good word again" - Jordan Spieth shows 'support' for the Leeds United
Jordan Spieth displayed his support for Leeds United by performing their iconic Leeds salute alongside Matt Fitzpatrick's caddie Billy Foster at the ongoing WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play.
Fitzpatrick is a Sheffield United fan but his caddie Foster is a fan of rival Leeds United.
The Premier League club tweeted a photo of the former World No. 1 alongside Yorkshireman Foster's picture and wrote:
"Legendary caddy Billy Foster spreading the good word again! #ALAW @JordanSpieth!"

Spieth called his shot "bullshit" in the post-round interview.
"Yeah, I thought it was about how I played the last few rounds last week. Not quite as solid as the first one, but pretty good," Spieth described in post-match interview. "I had a nice par save on the 2nd hole. I kind of missed the first couple fairways, and then I thought I flipped it on 4, I made a putt and he missed one from inside, both for birdie, and then he made about a 40-footer on 7, and I was able to make about a 15-footer on top."
Jordan Spieth will now face Taylor Montgomery in his second match at 11:48 am (ET) on Thursday.
