There was nothing ho-hum in the first opening round of Jordan Spieth 2 sous 70 in the 2025 players’ championship. Well, unless you put it in the context of the whole of Spieth’s career. The triple major champion struck for the cycle Thursday at TPC Sawgrass, and in the process, took its way in the links in the flagship event of the PGA Tour.
Spieth started her tournament in an ideal way by kicking in a birdie on his first hole, the Par-4 10th, before flashing the brilliance of the Greenside bunker on the 11th par-5 by undressing for Eagle. In the blink of an eye, Spieth had 3 under two holes, and his name was held at the top of the ranking.
However, it should be remembered that Spieth is Spieth. The good does not come without difficulty, and vice versa. Nothing is ever as it seems. It can never be that easy.
After a pair of pars, Spieth lost his tee shooting on the left in the water on the difficult par-4 14th. While the ball was barely crossing any land, Spieth had to play its third just in front of the Tee box; He finally won a double bogey. A Bogey followed the next day with all the first magic of Spieth.
However, his opening act was not finished. Greenside in two on the 16th par-5, Spieth summoned another tower by overthrowing his third on the green and looking at what he gave off the hole before disappearing. Back in the red figures, he went to shoot another eagle from his hat.
A 3-stroke bogy on Green Island was offset by a conventional birdie on the 18th par-4.
In total, the first nine of Spieth had two eagles, two birdies, two pars, two bogeys and a double bogey. All this increased to a 2-sous 34.
His second-nine 36 was perhaps more banal on paper, but it would be far from the truth. Exchanging a birdie on the par -5 2nd – he played in 5s in 5 under the turn – with a bogey on the 7th par -4, half of Spieth saw him put seven pars on the dashboard. They were all hard won.
He struck only one fairway over his nine seconds, the Par-5 9th, and two Greens in regulation. Based on his short match, which sometimes retained him during his return from the injury, Spieth looked like his old self. He struck the starting blows in the trees and pine straws, straightening up from Greenside and prison bunkers.
The 31 -year -old showed all his TPC Sawgrass TPC bag.
Exciting applause and a place in the top 10 while entering the clubhouse was the spieth award. The golden child set foot the best and most stimulating on Thursday to raise the Golden Boy on Sunday.
