KAPALUA, Hawaii (AP) — Jordan Spieth and Tom Kim have been neighbors in Dallas for the last several month without really knowing each other. Kim even is using Spieth’s longtime swing coach. That changed on a flight home from the Bahamas. Kim said he was going back to South Korea for a few weddings and his parents were going to stay through the holidays. Spieth’s wife, Annie, said no one should spend Christmas alone. They invited the 20-year-old over for Christmas dinner. Spieth says Kim is great with their 1-year-old son, Sammy. And he says Kim packs quite the appetite.
