\u201cI don\u2019t know what it would be, but Jordan is always great to play with. I had a really good time with him. He played great.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always helpful when you have momentum in the two-ball really, so that was nice. Especially on hot days and we\u2019re really grinding it out, it was nice to be kind of stress-free for the most part. <\/p>\n

\u201cAll of that sort of makes a difference.\u201c<\/p>\n

The Englishman and the American will be hoping to continue their fine form on Friday and on into the weekend at TPC Southwind.<\/p>\n

Spieth was asked by reporters after his opening round whether he agrees with Fleetwood\u2019s \u2018stress-free\u2019 assessment of day one in Memphis.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, if you look at the stats, you\u2019ll see four or five missed greens, but I had a putter in my hand on every single one of them, they were on the fringe. If you want to count that as 18 greens, it becomes about as stress free as it can be,\u201c the Dallas native said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a couple of those last weekend, which was nice. But I could have gotten into some trouble early in the round today, and I played the right spots, stayed patient, and my tap-ins didn\u2019t frustrate me. <\/p>\n

\u201cIn fact, it was like, all right, well, this is kind of the worst that I could have played this hole and I tapped in for par. So let\u2019s just stay the course.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce one fell on No. 9, the lid came off, and I made a few early there in the back.\u201c<\/p>\n
