I was here early before the tournament just to get some good work in with good weather and just wasn't sure where I'd be. 'I got in some good work early which I don't often do here. I felt like yesterday wasn't a fluke,' he continued. 'I felt like I've been playing some good golf. 'Yesterday, I had a toe-ball that I thought would be OK and it turned into a double, so that's a big number on the card, and then a couple of my bogeys were like 15-foot birdie putts that I just ran by. 'It was not as near as different as the scorecards look,' said Spieth. The three-time major champion hit all 13 fairways - a feat he has accomplished only three times in his PGA Tour career - and experienced a stress-free stroll few imagined possible after his opening 18. 1 Scottie Scheffler and fellow Texas Longhorn Jordan Spieth share the lead at 9 under through 36 holes at Albany Golf Club and sit one clear of Brian Harman.Īfter experiencing a rollercoaster first round filled with just five pars, Spieth signed for the first bogey-free effort of the week with his second-round 67.
Tiger Woods may be the story of the week, but it is a couple of other Masters champions who headline the leaderboard at the halfway point of the 2023 Hero World Challenge.
