Spieth making progress with tie that felt like victory

AUSTIN, Texas – For Jordan Spieth, Wednesday’s tie at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play felt like a victory.

Considering how Spieth has struggled the last few months, and the ebb and flow of the match, it was easy to see why.

After starting his day with a bogey at the first hole to slip 1 down against Billy Horschel, Spieth found himself in a 3-down hole after six holes. But he clawed back to tie the match through 13 holes. He then played Nos. 14 and 15 in 3 over par before rebounding with back-to-back birdies on the 17th and 18th holes to earn a half point.
