Jordan Spieth will advance to play the weekend at TPC Sawgrass – but just barely.
Spieth entered his final hole of Friday’s second round, the par-5 ninth, a shot clear of the projected cut line, but after hitting his second shot into the right rough, about 25 yards from the hole, Spieth needed four more shots to get the ball in the hole.
His closing bogey left him with a 2-over 74, and at even par, Spieth was one of 21 players on the cut line at The Players Championship. Eight players will have to finish their second rounds at 7 a.
