It had been a while since Jordan Spieth went bogey-free around Augusta National Golf Club.
In fact, Spieth hadn’t kept a clean card here since the second round of the 2016 Masters, when he fired a 66 for what, at the time, was his second bogey-free round in 10 career attempts.
So, in that sense, Spieth’s 3-under 69 Saturday was meaningful.
“That’s the goal every time I tee it up on No. 1,” Spieth said.
But it didn’t mean that Spieth wasn’t still frustrated. Usually demonstrative, Spieth had some heightened moments in recent days. After his drive on the par-4 18th hit a tree branch on Friday, Spieth bemoaned the break with caddie Michael Greller.
