WATCH: Jordan Spieth holes out from the fairway for eagle at Northern Trust

Jordan Spieth’s putting ranked in the bottom half of the field for Thursday’s opening round of The Northern Trust. On Friday he found a way to keep the putter in his bag.

Spieth, who shot a one-over 72 at Liberty National on Thursday, opened his second round with a bogey-par-birdie-par start. He then got to the par-4 5th hole, found the fairway and had 81 yards for his approach. As you probably guessed by now, he holed it. Spieth landed the ball a couple of feet past the pin, it bounced a couple of times and then started trickling back, falling into the cup for an eagle 2 and inducing a huge roar from the gallery.

The eagle got Spieth to two under on his round and one under for the tournament. Jon Rahm currently leads at 12 under.
