PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Considering Jordan Spieth’s record at TPC Sawgrass, making the cut on the number on Friday could be considered progress.
In four starts at the PGA Tour’s marquee event, Spieth has missed the cut the last three years and his opening 75 on Thursday didn’t exactly fill him with confidence that this year would be different.
On Friday, however, Spieth began his turnaround early with back-to-back birdies to start his round and added five more on his way to a second-round 68, good enough for a 1-under total and his first trip to the weekend on the Stadium Course since 2014.
