World number three Rory McIlroy, who 行方不明になるd the 削減（する） at last week's U.S. Open after sitting out a month with a niggling rib problem, was の中で a group of 18 golfers four 発射s 支援する in a 株 of 19th place.
Australian Jason Day (72), who also 行方不明になるd the 削減（する） last week in the 最新の misfire of what has so far been an underwhelming season, has plenty of work ahead if he 計画（する）s to play the 週末 after mixing a 二塁打-bogey with three bogeys and three birdies.
Defending 支持する／優勝者 Russell Knox finished one-under 69.
Spieth has already switched putters twice this season but his 現在の flatstick was working just 罰金 on Thursday, the world number six snagging five birdies in his first eight 穴を開けるs en 大勝する to a seven-under-par 63 at TPC River Highlands.
He の近くにd his 一連の会議、交渉／完成する in style with birdies on three of his final six 穴を開けるs, 含むing at the par-four 18th where his wedge from 136 yards stopped within 5 feet of the 穴を開ける, to take a slender lead over Johnson Wagner and Brett Stegmaier.
