Jordan Spieth has made a forgettable start to The CJ Cup Byron Nelson 2024. The 30-year-old golfer ended Day 1 of the PGA Tour competition at T53. He finished three under to share the position with 23 others including Ryan Fox, Tom Hoge and Raul Pereda.
Spieth will return to the greens on Friday at 1:55 pm ET. Defending champion Jason Day will join him on the first tee for the second straight day. It is pertinent to note that Day also stumbled with bogeys on the par-5 fifth hole like Spieth.
However, the Aussie managed two birdies and a bogey over the final four holes, while Spieth could only par the finishing hole.
Notably, Spieth entered the weekend event as a favorite. According to SportsLine, the three-time Major winner topped The CJ Cup Byron Nelson 2024 odds list with 12-1 odds. The bad start to the event is likely to have made him a longshot favorite ahead of Friday’s play.
Speaking about his round on Thursday, Jordan Spieth said, as quoted by PGATOUR.com:
“It’s a very gettable golf course. I just played the easy holes poorly. That was kind of the story of the day. I’m not out of it, but certainly you want to stay within two or three of the lead as you get through the first couple rounds."
Spieth is currently seeking his first victory at The CJ Cup Byron Nelson 2024. He’s made 11 appearances before.
