Jordan Spieth says something so ‘bizarre’ happened to him at the Valero Texas Open yesterday
Jordan Spieth endured an eventful day in the first round of the Valero Texas Open at TPC San Antonio on Thursday.
His one over 73, on paper, seems relatively run-of-the-mill. However, the 30-year-old’s scorecard made for exciting viewing.
The highlight of Spieth’s round came on the par-three 16th, as the American made an ace to salvage a below-par outing.
The 13-time PGA Tour winner played the first nine in two over, with four bogeys accompanied by two birdies.
Spieth’s round took a turn for the worst on the par five 14th, with a double bogey pushing him out to four over for the day.
Yet, his hole-in-one, along with a birdie at the 17th, saw the 30-year-old salvage his scorecard and retain hope of making it through to the weekend.
Spieth spoke briefly to the media after his round, and the American cut a very frustrated figure.

Despite his poor form, the three-time major winner is adamant his game is in a good place ahead of next week’s Masters.
“I am playing so much better than I’ve been scoring. It’s hard to explain,” said Spieth [footage from Ten Golf].
“I’ve played way worse and had consecutive top tens than the missed cuts that I’ve had. It’s just very bizarre. My game feels fine, and I’m just not getting much out of it.”
