Spieth Opens With Another Shocker (76), Takes To Social Media

Almost as stunning as his first day 79 at Riviera, Jordan Spieth's opening 76 at Innisbrook reminds us how incredible his 2015 season was. While the wins and the clutch shots get all of the attention, Spieth's ability to hold mediocre arounds together made it a historic season.

From Helen Ross' PGATour.com story at the Valspar.

"It's so tough on some of these putts down the hill to hit them as hard as we have to hit them," Spieth explained. "... You don't see it. It's an adjustment. It's something you got to trust. It's one thing to practice on the greens and get used to it, it's another to actually do it.

So Spieth shrugged and called it one of "those" days. He didn't plan to beat himself up over the round of 5 over. in fact, Spieth was looking forward to a nap.

"What good is kicking the door other than hurting my foot and (having to) withdraw?," Spieth said good-naturedly. "I'm kidding. No, I'll be fine."

Here is the Golf Channel's post-round video where you can get a sense of Spieth's confidence that this was just one of those days.

Still, the questions will be asked and Jaime Diaz at GolfDigest.com has a five possible answers, or some combination of those possibilities.
