UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. – Jordan Spieth’s only competitive round at Chambers Bay was a forgettable one. He shot 83 in the second round of stroke-play qualifying at the 2010 U.S. Amateur, on a day when the USGA admittedly lost control of the baked-out course.
“It was a short-lived trip for me,” Spieth said Monday. “I tried to throw out the round that I shot on this course from my memories. I’m kind of going in with a blank slate.”
The more he’s played Chambers, though, the more his opinions of the links-style course have evolved.
