Emotional Spieth can't overcome putting problems in WMPO missed cut

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – While he showed some signs of progress during the second round, Jordan Spieth is still leaving the Waste Management Phoenix Open two days earlier than he had hoped.

The former world No. 1 dug himself an early hole with an opening-round 74 at TPC Scottsdale, but he clawed back toward the cut line as part of Friday’s early wave. Needing a birdie on his last hole of the day to make the cut, he instead made a bogey and signed for a 2-under 69 that left him on the outside looking in at 1 over.
