[VIDEO] Jordan Spieth fires seven-under at John Deere Classic
Jordan hits form in lead up to British Open
Reigning Masters and US Open champion Jordan Spieth ratcheted up his preparation for next week’s British Open by firing a seven-under 64 in the second round of the PGA John Deere Classic on Friday.
The world number two found 10 of 14 fairways and reached 13 of 18 greens in regulation in making six birdies and an eagle against a lone bogey to move into contention after an opening 71 at the event he won in 2013 to secure a place on the PGA Tour.
“Today was a big day,” Spieth said. “I made a huge step forward based on how I felt yesterday. I wasn’t feeling good about my game. Ultimately, this was a big day for me in my preparation for next week.”
Spieth hopes to match Ben Hogan as the only player to win the first three majors of the season in the same year, a feat that would give him the chance to complete a calendar year sweep of the majors at next month’s PGA Championship.
