AUGUSTA, Ga. – Coming off a difficult opening round and having watched his first shot of the day sail straight for the trees, Jordan Spieth worried that he might not be around for the weekend at the Masters for the first time in his career.
Thankfully for him that won’t be the case, thanks in part to some timely play and some bad information.
Spieth has been a mainstay on the leaderboards at Augusta National, finishing third or better four times in his five prior starts. But he's struggled with his form of late and got off to a slow start this week, carding a 3-over 75 in the opening round.
