Spieth acknowledged Tuesday that he jammed his foot and heel while leaving the course last week, but doesn t expect it to have a significant impact while tackling the treacherous South Course in San Diego this week. It s been hurting, but it s nothing that I m going to do more damage to or anything like that, so I m fine, he said.
