Spieth (65) in contention, hoping to spurn costly weekend woes

As of late, Jordan Spieth isn't like most people when the idea of the weekend brings a sense of relief and relaxation. In fact, it's been quite the opposite for him.

Spieth hasn't won since the 2017 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, the longest drought of his already well-decorated career. There are many areas he can point to for that, but one glaring red flag has been his play on the weekends.

Last season, Spieth averaged 69.27 in his opening rounds and improved on Day 2 with an average of 68.32. Because of that, Spieth occasionally found himself in contention heading to the weekend, only to see those positive results erased in the blink of an eye.
