Jordan Spieth returns to a familiar hunting ground this week at the Valspar Championship, looking to defend his title and kick-start his form ahead of the Masters. The world No 1 has struggled in recent appearances to replicate the form that saw him win two majors last year and cruise to victory at Januarys Hyundai Tournament of Champions, failing to post a top-15 finish in his last three starts.Spieths putting hasnt been as successful during the early-season events and he has also struggled from tee-to-green in recent weeks, but he heads to Innisbrook Resort aiming to continue his impressive record at the venue. Spieths Valspar victory was followed by the Masters title four weeks later The 22-year-old earned temporary membership on the PGA Tour with a tied-seventh finish at the tournament in 2013 and added another top-20 finish a year later, before following that up with a narrow victory last year.Spieth drained a lengthy birdie putt in a play-off in Florida last season to see off Patrick Reed and Sean OHair and claim the first of five worldwide wins in 2015.Play-off victory sparked a run of form which saw Spieth post back-to-back runner-up finishes in Houston and Texas before a record-breaking win at Augusta, with the 22-year-old now hoping for a similar display this week. Ways to watch How to watch featured group coverage Weve had a win this year already, but obviously the last few PGA Tour events werent up to par with how we were doing before, Spieth told a pre-tournament press conference.Even though the last couple events werent exactly what I was looking for, I did actually place the same last week that I did in 2015, so that course just doesnt fit me very well.All Im looking to take out is some momentum from what was strong and to build on what I need to do to improve from last week and Ill be ready to go. Spieth needed a birdie putt at the last to force a play-off last year Im looking at it from the face weve already won this year, so now its time to build this momentum right into this Major.Spieth will play alongside Bill Haas and Henrik Stenson for the opening two rounds, with the Swede confirming that he would miss this months WGC-Dell Match Play to rest ahead of Augusta. Although Spieth has posted three top-five finishes already this season, he knows theres still plenty of work to do over the next month ahead of his Masters defence.I feel pretty good, although I really need to get my putter going, Spieth added. It hasnt really clicked yet and things havent been quite going in, but they will. The 22-year-old is chasing a second PGA Tour title of the season My wedge play needs to improve, but my driving of the golf ball is better and I feel better than it was last year. My iron striking has also been consistent from last week into this week.The four tournaments that I played in between Hawaii and Doral I certainly think the expectations that I put on myself were too high because of Hawaii, so I kind of needed to dial it back a little bit.Obviously you want to set high end, borderline unrealistic expectations for yourself because if you get anywhere close to it youre going to be there, but theres a balance that I need to find. It has been a learning experience this year.Watch the Valspar Championship throughout the week live on Sky Sports 4 - your home of golf. Or watch live from £6.99 without a contract, on NOW TV.

Ahead of the five-match ODI series against New Zealand, India had a total of eight ODIs to cover all their bases ahead of the Champions Trophy next year. MS Dhoni, who usually cringes at any suggestions of experimentation, admitted the series was an opportunity to try out different players and fill a few slots. By the time India clinched the series 3-2 in Visakhapatnam, Dhoni would have been happy with the progress made on a few fronts.Mishra returns, againBefore the start of the series, Amit Mishra had played 31 ODIs in 13 years. Apart from the palindromic symmetry of these numbers, two things stand out: a) He has been around for ages without ever being a permanent fixture in the limited-overs side; b) Despite that, his talent and persistence have always kept him in the reckoning.In the absence of R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, who were rested, Mishra was the lead spinner by default. By the end of the fifth ODI, Mishra had earned the right to be the leader of the entire bowling unit, picking 15 wickets to claim his first man-of-the-series award. His wickets arrived through a seductive blend of flight, dip, aided by plenty of revs on the ball, and turn. Just look up the dismissals of Ross Taylor and Luke Ronchi in Mohali, and James Neesham in Visakhapatnam.Mishra, who is a month shy of turning 34, knows he has to perform every time an opportunity comes his way. He acknowledges that the key to this lies, apart from his fizzing leg-breaks, in improving his fielding and batting.Dhoni moves to No 4One of the things MS Dhoni has endlessly fretted over in the last few years has been identifying a finisher. With the search remaining futile, Dhoni had no choice but to bat at No 5 or 6, from where bashing the bowling from the outset proved difficult. Dhoni eventually bit the bullet, and in giving himself a promotion, challenged the inexperienced middle-order batsmen to learn the finishers job on the fly.The results were instant. His 80 in Mohali was fashioned from a younger Dhonis template of accumulate and accelerate. Dhonis shift in batting position is less of a concession to a senior pro than an arrangement that optimises his value as a batsman. He would want his younger colleagues in the middle order to ensure they hold up their side of the bargainThe Jadhav surpriseAhead of this series, Kedar Jadhav was known as a batsman who could keep wicket occasionally. It is believed Dhoni wanted someone who could play Suresh Rainas role as a middle-order bat who could send down a few overs, and Jadhav appeared the closest alternative. He was then given an extended bowling session in the nets on the eve of the first ODI, which was followed by Dhoni identifying him, along with Rohit Sharma, as one of his part-timers.As it turned out, Jadhav, with his subtle pace variations and low-arm release, became a compulsive partnership-breaker, and finished with six wickets in the series at an economy rate of 4.05. To Dhonis credit, he never over-bowled him, and ensured he retained the surprise element. Jadhavs biggest challenge,, however, was to prove himself with the bat.ddddddddddddWhile he scored an enterprising 40 in a losing cause in Delhi, it was the calm and selfless manner in which he batted at the death in Visakhapatnam that must have pleased Dhoni the most.The new-ball punt with PandyaWhen Hardik Pandya was picked for the New Zealand ODIs, there were several groans of disapproval. Admittedly, there was a case for scepticism: Pandya had had a poor IPL followed by a mediocre tour to Australia with the India A team. The numbers werent in his favour, but the selectors were excited by his pace with the ball, and the spunk he showed in his counter-attacking 79 in Brisbane.Dhoni put Pandyas deceptive pace to good use when he gave him the new ball on ODI debut in Dharamsala. Pandyas 3 for 31 won him the man of the match award, but the bigger takeaway was that he could swing the ball at upwards of 135 kph. Pandya also nearly won the game for India in Delhi with a thrilling late-innings assault.In the last few years, India have tried out a few players such as Rishi Dhawan, Stuart Binny and Pandya himself, for the seam-bowling allrounders slot. Should Pandya sustain his form and not bowl waywardly - as in Ranchi where he conceded eight wides - he will be one of Dhonis go-to men in England next year for the Champions Trophy. Umesh , Axar and other unsung heroesUmesh Yadavs contribution to Indias series win went beyond his eight wickets. His initial thrust with the new ball usually brought the big wickets, which then helped the spinners bore into the middle order. Umesh, in fact, got Martin Guptill out three times in the series, twice in the first over of the innings. Umesh regularly delivered from close to the stumps, and, apart from in Mohali where he went for runs, this appeared to give him greater control.Axar Patel may not yet be in Jadejas class, but he did everything thats part of the Saurashtra allrounders job description. While he was Dhonis designated run-choker at different stages in the innings, he rose to the occasion with the bat by scoring a gutsy 38 when promoted to No.5 in Ranchi. In the final ODI, he hit an 18-ball 24 to rev up the scoring rate in the slog.That Jayant Yadav and Mandeep Singh were among the most tireless workers at net sessions pointed to a happy and motivated bench. Jayant would often bowl for more than an hour, and spend most of his time talking shop with coach Anil Kumble. Jayant was the only player in Indias squad to not play a single game on the Zimbabwe tour, and it looked like hed have to wait even longer to get his maiden international cap. But, when he was given an opportunity in Visakhapatnam, he did his prospects no harm.Mandeep still remains uncapped, but showed tremendous athleticism when he substituted for Rohit in Visakhapatnam. A string of diving stops inside the circle denied New Zealands batsmen boundaries and added to the pressure they were under. ' ' '
