Jordan Spieth Makes Late Surge to Salvage Round 1 at PGA Championship 2017

Jordan Spieth tread water throughout most of Thursday en route to a one-over 72 in the first round of the 2017 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Spieth, a three-time major champion, is trying to complete the career Grand Slam this week after capturing his first Open Championship title last month. He previously won the Masters and the U.S. Open during his breakout 2015 campaign.

The 24-year-old golf superstar finished Thursday with four bogeys and three birdies. Spieth also did not make a putt longer than six feet, per Justin Ray of Golf Channel.
