Despite 'really bad contact,' Jordan Spieth fires 67 at Valero Texas Open

It should come as no surprise that Jordan Spieth is leading the Valero Texas Open. Few have played better – if not won – over the last two months than Spieth.

He has three top-4 finishes in his last six starts, as well as a T-9 at last week’s WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play.

Thursday at TPC San Antonio, Spieth made seven birdies and two bogeys for a 5-under 67. He was in the lead when he signed his card, but, even so, he wasn't fully pleased with his game.

"I had really bad contact today," Spieth said after his round. "Normally, even if I don't necessarily strike the ball well, normally I'm hitting it close to the middle of the face.

"I've got all afternoon to figure that out on the range."
