Jordan Spieth on fire after wild chip-in during Byron Nelson final round
Jordan Spieth probably won’t catch Scottie Scheffler on Sunday at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, but that won’t stop Spieth from making a run anyway.
Spieth birdied seven of his first 12 holes to begin his final round, including a wild chip-in at the par-4 12th hole.
After rolling in six birdies, five of which came from inside 10 feet, Spieth stepped on the 12th tee and proceeded to miss his sixth fairway of the day. As Spieth’s ball sailed right toward the gallery, he could be heard pleading for the ball not to hit the cart path while indifferently sneaking in a single, “Fore.”
“I think it smashed the cart path, Michael,” Spieth added as his ball took a few hops on the path, though surprisingly didn’t bound into a terrible spot.
Spieth followed with a 206-yard approach from the rough that sailed the green and settled just off the green about 25 feet from the hole. He didn’t have much green to work with and the lie was pretty downhill, but Spieth skillfully took a short stab at it, his ball coming out nicely, landing on the fringe and rolling right into the bottom of the cup.
The birdie moved Spieth, who had the lowest round going on the golf course, into a tie for second at 17 under. He was still, however, seven shots back of Scheffler, who was 1 under through four holes.
Spieth has two top-10s in nine previous starts this season after returning from left-wrist surgery at Pebble Beach. He also has strung together three consecutive top-20 finishes, including a T-14 at the Masters.
He will continue his career Grand Slam quest in two weeks at the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow.

Djokovic learns fate in new home as Sabalenka addresses behaviour
Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.
We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.
Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.
