Massive respect to Jordan Spieth after his kind words to Irish amateur Paul Dunne

Great gesture.

Paul Dunne began his week at The Open Championship by getting mistaken for Jordan Spieth in his practice, and opening, rounds. He ended it as a genuine Irish golfing prospect, was the leader going into the final round and, as an amateur, had to turn down approximately €58k after finishing in a tie for 30th position. He is expected to be contacted by sports manufacturer Under Armour in the coming weeks for a clothing and sponsorship deal after he wore their golf gear throughout his remarkable Open journey. One man who would definitely welcome Dunne into the UA fold is American golf sensation Jordan Spieth. The 21-year-old, and winner of the Masters and US Open this year, was so impressed with the Irish amateur that he twice - following Dunne's closing round of 78 - sought him out for a chat.
