Spieth shoots 42-31 thanks to errant, then excellent driving

Amateurs love it when they can relate to pros, like when a pro has a large disparity in his two nine-hole scores.

Saturday at the Valero Texas Open, Jordan Spieth looked like an amateur over his first nine. And then he looked like a three-time major champion on the second.

Spieth shot 6-over 42 on the front side in the third round at TPC San Antonio, complete with two double bogeys, two bogeys and no birdies. He came home in 5-under 31, with five birdies, including three straight to close his eventful round.

Never give up on a round .
