Jordan Spieth struggled to maintain momentum during the final round of the RBC Heritage. Analyst Johnson Wagner noted Spieth needs to get sharper.

The three-time major champion finished T33 after a difficult back nine. Wagner emphasized the need for four consistent rounds before the PGA Championship.

On the CBS broadcast, PGA Tour analyst Johnson Wagner expressed his disappointment with the athlete's poor consistency, saying, "The consistency just needs to get a little bit sharper."

Wagner's remarks came after witnessing Spieth card a 2-over 37 on the back nine, a disappointing turn after he had opened the final round with a promising 4-under 32 on the front side.

"I just want to see him in the winner's circle again… I desperately want to see him win a PGA Championship before his career is done," Wagner said, describing the high expectations from the 13-time PGA Tour winner.

Although showing flashes of brilliance, Jordan Spieth has not been able to secure a single top-10 finish this season, especially given that he recently stated his driving at the Masters was better than it was the year he won.

Reclaiming the Status of the World’s Best

"Jordan Spieth is putting two, three good rounds together, but he's not putting that fourth one," Wagner said, drawing comparisons between Spieth's unstable game and those of his most successful counterparts.

Spieth's statistics at Harbour Town showed a stark contrast: although he finished first in strokes gained from putting (+7.895), he was ranked 72nd in strokes gained from tee shots.

The broadcast team noted that, for a two-year stretch, Spieth was "unequivocally the best player in the world by any standard, any measurement," making his struggle to link every phase of his game more obvious.

With the PGA Championship looming, however, the question on everybody's mind would be whether Spieth will once again attain the precision required to finally clinch the one championship that has evaded him so far.
