If he could take one mulligan this year, Jordan Spieth knows exactly where it would be - the final round at St. Andrews.
Trying to become the first player to capture the third leg of the modern Grand Slam, he was tied for the lead at the British Open until he missed an 8-foot par putt on the 17th hole and failed to birdie the 18th. Spieth missed a playoff by one shot.
But that's not where he'd take the mulligan.
''My first putt on No. 8,'' Spieth said.
He had a long birdie putt on the par-3 hole that he ran so far by the cup that it stopped just off the green.
