WINDERMERE, Fla. -- Sushi on Thanksgiving sucks.

Great win last week, Jordan Spieth. So "what'd you do for Thanksgiving" is how the conversation on the 10th tee started with Spieth during his pro-am round Wednesday at the Hero World Challenge.

"We ate sushi," he said. "Let me tell you, man, sushi on Thanksgiving sucks. I can't believe how much I missed being home for Thanksgiving, dude."

Last week, during the course of winning the Australian Open, Spieth was paired with Aussie Adam Scott on Thursday and somehow the subject of Thanksgiving came up during the round.

Jordan said that Scott asked, "Oh yeah, that's going on sometime soon, right?"

Spieth replied, "Today, actually." Spieth told the story with a tone of disappointment, even though he ended up winning the tournament by shooting a blistering 63 on Sunday.

"My family kept sending pictures of Thanksgiving dinner and I just couldn't look at them," said Spieth's caddie, Michael Greller.

Then both Spieth and Greller started to tell me what each family was serving for the main meal, which made my stomach growl. Thank goodness for free snacks in the media center!
