Jordan Spieth's bid for a second claret jug is off to a strong start.
Spieth, who won The Open back in 2017 at Royal Birkdale, shook off an early bogey on the third hole Thursday at Royal St. George's and rattled off three straight birdies on his front nine.
Spieth began the birdie run by holing a 25-footer from the front edge of the green at the par-4 fifth.
He then hit a beauty off the tee at the 175-yard, par-3 sixth before draining a 10-footer.
The third birdie came at the par-5 seventh.
