Despite 'bad mood' and loss of lead, Jordan Spieth (70) remains in Nelson hunt

Jordan Spieth shot 2-under 70 Friday to lose his co-lead at the AT&T Byron Nelson after a way-too-early start to his morning.

"When I wake up at 4:30 (a.m.) I'm in a bad mood just as most people probably are and I needed to kick that today," Spieth said. "By I think yesterday even when I wasn't playing a good hole I was kind of laughing at the miss or chunked it and laughed. Today I had a shorter fuse."

After contracting COVID-19 and not playing the past four weeks since the Masters, Spieth came out firing at TPC Craig Ranch on Thursday, shooting 63 at his hometown tournament and finishing the day with a 55-foot putt for eagle.
