With second round place at the Byron Nelson Classic nearing completion, Bud Cauley, Brooks Koepka and Jordan Spieth are tied for the lead at -11 under par. This is the first time Jordan Spieth has been na leader in several weeks and may bode well as he eyes the Memorial Tournament at Jack's place in two weeks. On Thursday, it was just the opposite. Spieth shot a 6-under 64 on a
course that hasn’t always been kind to him. In the process, he took one
big first step to fulfilling his dream of winning his hometown event,
the AT&T Byron Nelson. Trying to beat the darkness caused by a 2-1/2 rain delay to start the
day, Spieth managed his way around the TPC Four Seasons Resort course
despite some balky iron play at times. The 64 ties for his lowest round
in this event and puts him just one shot off the lead shared by Sergio
Garcia, Danny Lee and Johnson Wagner. “I got of the most out of the round -- which is what I was looking for last week that I just couldn't get,” Spieth said. Thursday’s round started when Spieth holed out from the intermediate
rough for birdie on the par-4 first, an indication that maybe he was due
for some good fortune after failing to take advantage of prime scoring
conditions in the first two rounds last week at TPC Sawgrass. Another indication that he had put his troubles of last week behind
him came in the form of a couple of mid-range putts – a 13-footer at
nine for birdie and another 13-footer at 14 for a bounce-back birdie
after his lone bogey of the round at the par-3 13th. Can Spieth hold a share of the lead on Saturday? Let us know your predictions here at the Pro Golf Tour:
