Jordan Spieth couldn't sustain a hot start once the wind kicked up at the AT&T Byron Nelson.
Spieth made the most of the easiest portion of Trinity Forest, carding five birdies in his first seven holes to rocket up the early leaderboard. But he made a double bogey on the difficult ninth hole, then shot even on the back to finish the day with a 3-under 68. It left him five shots behind Denny McCarthy and in a tie for 37th on a day when more than half the field broke par.
After the round, Spieth told reporters that he was pleased with his ball-striking, especially off the tee.
