Did Jordan Spieth finally solve TPC Sawgrass in Thursday's opening 70?

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Jordan Spieth might have finally figured out how to handle TPC Sawgrass.

He’s treating it like a major test.

After being the 54-hole co-leader in 2014, Spieth has missed the cut in four of his last five appearances here. His prior form hasn’t much mattered – he just hasn’t been able to solve the Pete Dye riddle.

But Thursday was one of his most promising starts, carrying over his recent good form and signing for a 2-under 70, which put him just outside the top 10 and only five shots off the early lead at The Players.
