Jordan Spieth has spent his second season going to PGA Tour courses he had seen only once, each of them filled with various memories.
The best ones are in Boston.
Spieth didn't win the Deutsche Bank Championship a year ago, though it sure felt like it. He played the final round on Labor Day with Phil Mickelson and turned in what he still calls the best round of his life. The 21-year-old Texan finished birdie-birdie-birdie-eagle for a 62.
The round was stopped by storms, and with no golf being played, the TPC Boston was buzzing about Spieth.
"This is the site the last time I was here of the best round of golf I've ever played," Spieth said Thursday after his pro-am round. "Given the timing of it, what was at stake, the way I played that day ... being back draws some really good memories."
Spieth could use another performance like that.
He still hasn't won this year, though he played so consistently well and gave himself so many chances the first half of the season that he is No. 9 in the FedEx Cup going into the second playoff event, which starts Friday.
