THE PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIPMay 9, 2014Jordan SpiethPONTE VEDRA BEACH, FLORIDA Q.  Can you just talk about your round, please? You're in great position. JORDAN SPIETH: Yeah. Solid round tee to green I felt like today was one of my best ball‑striking days I've had in a long time. Wasn't worried, just one little swing thought that I've been having the whole week, and from there drove the ball a lot better today as far as striking it on the middle of the face and put myself in a lot of great positions to make birdies, and there were quite a few wedges that I didn't, but I definitely stole a few on top of that. Very stress‑free, and I'd like to have a round like that the next two days. Q. How do you explain your success on courses where first‑timers aren't supposed to play well like Augusta and here? JORDAN SPIETH: I don't know. I didn't know that. Every course I've played over the past few years has been a brand new course to me. It's only this year am I seeing places a second time. Even junior to college golf, I only played a year in college, so I only saw those courses once. It's nothing new. I played a junior event here a long time ago, but not in the same setting or with the same game. I don't see that it's necessarily a first‑time thing. It's just normal. Q. You made birdies on 7 and on 14, which are two of the more difficult par‑4s out here. Was that just because you're so confident in your ball‑striking right now? JORDAN SPIETH: Well, 7 I hit a drive up there to where I could kind of just punch a pitching wedge. I only had 125 to the hole to that front pin. That made it a little easier with a good lie and a good wind for me. I just hit it below the hole there. And then 14, that was unexpected. I hit a good drive up there again, but I had the same 6‑iron I had on 13 from 185 with a little into, off‑the‑left wind, so that's just a perfect number to just rip it, playing about 192 or so, and it drew in there nicely. I was aimed up a little right and overdid it just a touch, but I got away with it.
