Jordan Spieth teed up at this week’s The CJ Cup Byron Nelson event, which began its first round on Thursday, May 2. Spieth shot a round of 68 in the opening round, settling in a tie for 53rd place. Play was suspended on Thursday, and players will resume the first round on Friday, May 3, at 9:15 a.m. ET.
Spieth notably completed all 18 holes of the opening round and will tee off for the second round on Friday. In a press conference on Thursday, he opened up about his gameplay and expressed excitement about competing in a tournament with a gallery filled with fans following him.
Speaking about the tournament, Jordan Spieth said (via Ten Golf’s YouTube channel):
“It was great. There were a few people here early, and then it started to build as we made the turn, and it was pretty cool. And I’m sure it’ll be pretty fun tomorrow, just being later in the day on a Friday. So it was actually kind of quite calm this morning, and then it started to build up, and it looked like the Byron Nelson. So I appreciate it having family and friends and other people from in town out there.”
