However, in the first two rounds, he did something that hadn\u2019t been done in 20 years on the PGA Tour.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to statistician Justin Ray, Spieth is the first player in the past two decades to have no bogeys\u2014but four double bogeys\u2014while still playing under par in the first two days of any tournament.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Perhaps the drought Spieth ended could have lasted even longer, but Ray wrote on Twitter (X), \u201cI stopped digging at 20 years because I have a family.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jordan Spieth through 36 holes this week:
*1-under-par
*0 bogeys
*4 double bogeys<\/p>\n
He is the only player over the last 20 years on the PGA Tour to be under par, have 4+ doubles and 0 bogeys through 36 holes in any tournament.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Justin Ray (@JustinRayGolf) April 18, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Spieth\u2019s first double of the week occurred on the par-4 6th in Round 1, hitting a tee shot out of bounds. Then, he had three Friday on the par-4 1st, par-4 8th and par-4 13th, which included another out-of-bounds drive, a water ball and a failed up-and-down from the greenside bunker.\u00a0<\/p>\n Yet the three-time major champion still carded nine birdies on the first two days despite ranking near the bottom of the field in driving distance, hitting just 42% of his fairways.\u00a0<\/p>\n The bogey-less streak ended on Saturday, though, with a three-putt on the par-4 6th. He added another to his scorecard on the par-4 11th after a wayward tee shot. And, in Spieth fashion, he still shot a third-round 67, moving him to T42 after he completed 54 holes. <\/p>\n At the Masters last week, Spieth, after a T12 finish<\/a>, said: \u201cI hit it better than the year I won [in Augusta] and I hit it way better than any of the second places or fourths that I hit it.\u201d But it has been his putting that has held him back.\u00a0<\/p>\n This week, however, he is second in the field in strokes-gained putting, gaining over five strokes with the flatstick. But he\u2019s negative in approach, off the tee and around the green. <\/p>\n Even when he\u2019s basically out of contention, Spieth never ceases to amaze and surprise. <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\"){kind=icon}
