Almost everything seemed to go Jordan Spieth's way on Thursday in the opening round of the Masters – even the bad shots.
The result: an 8-under 64, one off the course record at Augusta National. He'll carry a 3-stroke lead into Friday's second round. And the thing is, it could have been even better.
But back to everything going his way …
On the par-3 12th, Spieth walked disgusted toward the hole after stroking his putt, thinking his short birdie bid had missed on the right edge. It went in for birdie to get to 6 under.
A hole later, Spieth flared his tee shot on the par 5 to the right, thinking he would have trouble making a momentum-continuing birdie. Sure enough, a tree ricocheted his ball back into the fairway leading to another birdie.
Then on the 14th, Spieth found himself in trouble off the tee at the only bunker-less hole on the course. No problem. Spieth shaped a shot that hit the green, kissed the flagstick and stopped within gimme range for another birdie.
Spieth slipped on the 15th, bogeying the birdieable par 5. He rallied for a birdie on the tough 18th to put himself at 8-under.
