Jordan Spieth struggled to a three-over 75 in the first round of the 2020 Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, on Thursday.
Upon entering the clubhouse, Spieth had one of the worst scores among golfers who had teed off and was in a tie for 93rd place. The 26-year-old Texas native also trailed leader Hideki Matsuyama by 12 strokes.
Spieth began his round on the back nine and finished with five bogeys and just two birdies during a trying day.
After parring his first four holes, Spieth bogeyed the par-four 14th and proceeded to bogey two more holes on his front nine to make the turn at three over.
