On Friday morning, Texas ex Jordan Spieth had two of the best rounds we’ve seen from him in a long time.
Spieth is currently competing in the Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas. It’s a professional golf tournament on the PGA Tour that is played annually in May with a purse totaling $7,500,000.

After Spieth held a share of the lead for a moment, he had back-to-back birdies on his ninth and tenth holes that put him alone at the top. He finished the day one shot off of the lead after carding his second straight 5-under 65.
Here’s the current leaderboard:
- Varner (-11)
- Spieth (-10)
- McIlroy (-9)
- Schauffele (-9)
- Morikawa (-9)
- Thomas (-8)
- Rose (-7)
Spieth hasn’t led/co-lead after 36 holes on the PGA Tour since 2017. He had a few late bumps in the road today but overall the layoff seems to have benefited him, his swing looks great and he’s under control.
Don’t call it a comeback.
