PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Jordan Spieth received some light applause after rolling in a 14-foot birdie on the 18th hole Saturday morning, but in the end it proved to be too little, too late.
Spieth returned to TPC Sawgrass to complete the final four holes of his second round at The Players Championship, and after scores of 72-71 he missed the cut by a shot. It marks the second straight year that Spieth has made an early exit from the Tour’s flagship event.
According to Spieth, while the larger goal is still to improve his consistency, the cause of this week’s disappointing result was clear.
