Despite 66, Spieth frustrated by short misses

Despite 66, Spieth frustrated by short misses

DALLAS After a frustrating opener on the greens at Trinity Forest, Jordan Spieth made progress during the second round of the AT&T Byron Nelson even though he still couldnt escape the short miss.Spieth moved up the leaderboard after a 5-under 66, and at 7 under he was inside the top 20 when he ended his round. But he was left to rue a pair of misses from close range, first a 15-inch par putt on No. 15 and then another from inside 3 feet on No. 9 to close out his round with a disappointing three-putt from inside 12 feet.Kind of laziness to miss a tap-in, and on the last hole just to not wait until I felt comfortable with the breeze off my back. I just pulled it, Spieth said. Obviously really frustrated missing two putts, one inside a foot and one inside 3 feet, with all the progress I made in my putting.Spieths putting has been an area of concern for much of the week, as he entered this tournament ranked 183rd on Tour in strokes gained: putting. Theres still work to do, as his 13-foot birdie make on No. 5 remains his longest made putt through 36 holes.

But Spieth was encouraged by an eight-hole stretch in the middle of his round that included six birdies as he moved from the cut line onto the fringe of contention.A lot of the round I was sitting there going, Man, Im hitting shots where I want to and hitting putts where I want to, and theyre not going in. Ive got to do something to make a putt, Spieth said. Once it started getting going there, I knew I had a lot of holes that I could feed the ball in.Spieth explained that he and swing coach Cameron McCormick worked on a tweak to his putting prior to the start of the tournament, but admitted that he almost forgot about it during the opening round. Still with two rounds left to catch Marc Leishman on a course where Spieth is a member, he realizes that his struggles on the greens have created a significant deficit.Im eight back, and eight is a lot of shots, Spieth said. Six is a little different with two rounds to go. But Ill go out and play the golf course the way it needs to be played. Im not going to force anything, Im going to try and be in the fairways as often as I can.

I've heard that Mycorrhizal fungi are either of no or very limited benefit in an aeroponics system or they cannot live in aeroponics as there is no medium for them to colonize (I thought they could colonize the root system in that case) but I have the urge to try mycorrhizae has excellent properties in aeroponics & you just have to watch that they do not clog your misters.

"That's the first time for me," Piercy said. "Putts didn't fall on the back nine. Hit some pretty decent putts, (but) I felt like I misread them. To go 72 holes without a bogey is pretty awesome." Though Piercy's week is noteworthy, it does fall short to Lee Trevino's exploits at the 1974 New Orleans Open.
