Jordan Spieth Still Starting Strong.

While he was never in contention to win Sunday at the CJ Cup, he carded five final-round birdies and shot 1-under 71 to open his 2019-20 season with a T-8 finish.

Spieth, who hadn’t played since the BMW Championship more than two months ago, now has five top-10s in his last 11 worldwide starts.

The ball-striking, though, is still a “work in progress,” said Spieth, who ranked 157th in strokes gained tee to green last season.
