UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash.
(AP) -- One major appar-
ently isn’t enough to satisfy
Masters champion Jordan
Spieth.
Spieth set the target Friday
at Chambers Bay by surg-
ing into the lead with bird-
ies, overcoming a double
bogey that tested his pa-
tience and closing with
a birdie during a chaotic
final hole. He wound up
with a 3-under 67 and a
one-shot lead among the
early finishers.
Not since Tiger Woods has
anyone won the Masters
and U.S. Open in the same
year.
Spieth still has a long way
to go, and he realizes it
will only get harder on a
course that already is per-
plexing. At times, it was
even scary.
Jason Day, playing along-
side Spieth, was doing his
best to keep pace until
a frightening finish to his
round. Day was headed
down to the ninth green -
a drop of some 100 feet in
elevation - when he fell to
the ground and lay on his
back for several minutes.
